Away - Heal

 As you laid on the couch,

Half of my life flashed before

My eyes. 

How do I say goodbye, 

How can I tell you I didn’t

Intend to.

Do I kiss your forehead? 

Do I say words to you? 

Do I tell you or do I stay mute? 

I am sorry that you don’t 

Understand, or maybe you do. 

I am sorry that I cannot explain

Yes, I hurt you. 

They say it’s okay to 

put the past behind us.

Yes, there is a past, 

but there is no us. 

Not anymore. 

But I think I have a story. 

Although I am lost for words. 

Do forgive me. 

And as hot tears ran down my 

Cheeks, I hurried to wipe my face. 

If there is a chance or two, 

I’d like to say I love you. 

But as your eyes twitched again, 

I realized it was time to leave. 

And I turned to see the note I 

Left on the table. 

It read “Forgive me, I was naive”. 

I didn’t know better.

But, I promise, I didn’t take your 

Heart with me. 

So heal, baby, Heal. 

Goodbye, Heal.
