I Cannot Keep You

He Loves Me Not...

I let you go days ago,Or rather, the thought of you and I.Why is it that when I conjure up your image,My heart still beats the same?

Why is it that every time we stop talking,I feel you are merely making your escape?Well maybe I did something wrong.Maybe you still would rather toy with others.

I was never sure of us...never completely sure.Yet, the stars kept aligning & the heavens kept their choir.All around me, I saw the good for what it could have been.Eventually, even your own free will could not be overcome.

Perhaps I was right all along,Lost within the security of the times we spent.You lulled me into something real but without labels,Without any actual commitment.

I have to let you go, now. Completely.Without remorse, without fear of the repercussions.It’s hard for me to stop caring, but maybe I can still care about you.I just cannot keep you.

You weren’t meant to be my forever.

I see that now.
