Can't let you go

I want what I can’t have
I crave him oh so bad
They always say
Look before you leap
So why is it that my feet
Are pushing off of the ground
Soaring to a great height
Where if I fall I shall lay stunned?
A pain without a cure
I just can’t let him go
I’m setting myself up for failure
Why would he want someone like me?
When he could have someone like her.
They had 3 years together
But then she hurt him
And I was there to help him back up
Over time we began to get closer
Every day over the summer we hung out
He took me to the beach with him
I’ve met almost all of his friends
They consider us a couple
But now that she’s back in the picture
I’m pushed to the side
He barely texts me now
Ever since that day everything has changed
It’s like he’s scared of me
Or maybe he’s just scared of what could be
I get that he’s going away for awhile
But I just don’t see what stopping him
Stopping him from being with me
I don’t bite I’d treat him well
I care for him more then he’ll ever know
I want to give up
But I just can’t seem to let him go
I know I can be all he needs
I want him to promise me he’ll stay
But I know he doesn’t make promises he can’t keep
I don’t want to know
Why I can’t let you go
I can’t get you off my mind
No matter how hard I try
I can’t let you go
