Today I realised I love you. I also realised I must leave you. Not because I am not worthy of you, although I do not mean a lot. And not because I want to, because I certainly do not. But because I have found, although I knew it all along, That you still love her, and your love for her is strong. You love her hair, her smile and the way she looked at you. And although she looks no longer, there is nothing you wouldn't do. You would follow her down any path, trail or track You would do just about anything you could to have her back. And even though when I leave, it is I who will hurt the most I must do it very soon, for fear of getting too close. So throughout all my leaving and the joy it will suppress, I must do this for myself, I'm looking after my best interests. I have realised something else while writing this strange song And that is that I will still love you, even long after I'm gone. And while you may forget what I treasured for so long Please know that I will miss you, that, for one, will never be wrong. The last conclusion I came to, whilst lying alone and sore Is that the end of our friendship will not bother you, Because I always loved you more.
