The Path You Had To Take
by: me
As I watched you walk out the door that night
I knew you were walking out of my life
You assured me that our paths would cross again someday
That this was not a permanent departure
I wanted so desperately to run after you
And convince you to stay
But all I could do was watch you leave
Hoping you would change your mind
But with every step you took my hopes faded
And my heart screamed on the inside as my eyes bled silent tears
we both knew you had dreams to make come alive
You had wings that needed to be spread
It just hurt so excruciatingly to watch you fly away
Because I was a bird without wings and couldn�t fly with you
My heart felt like an abyss
So empty, so hollow, so dark
I still feel our bodies growing farther apart everyday
But it could just be our hearts
Because I know you aren�t returning
And our paths may never cross
And I am left with the constant fear
That I just may spend eternity waiting anyway
