A Gift of Love and Pain

We only said hello and
Before I knew it
It was too late to try and stop
For I was already halfway falling
Down this endless dream

You held my hand and my heart
Through my darkness
Bid me a gentle escape
Window out of my insecurity

Even if I tried to let go
I would only be killing me
Digging never-healing wounds
That won’t hesitate
To swallow me in once more
Never to be recovered again

I feel smaller than ever before
More vulnerable to this world
And it’s ruthless games
That doesn’t make it any easier
To confess how much you are to me

Is it not enough that I don’t
Even possess my own heart
Never was mine to be honest
It has always belonged to you

Even if I tried to forget you
I would only be trying to destroy me
Tearing apart who I am within
The person you found in me
But in my heart, it’s rather clear
Goodbye is the only true gift I can give you

If I can’t ask you to grow here with me
I'll ask one more thing of you
Look out at the millions of stars
And always remember us
