Love's Leaving

We said we'd take it slow.
You weren't ready to settle down.
We kept it calm and casual.
But somewhere along the way
I fell in love with you.
I tried to give you everything
But you didn't seem to want me.
Now, you're leaving
But I'm still in love with you.
Is there anyway to keep you?
Any way to make you happy here
It breaks my heart to think
That I have to let you go
Before you leave
I have to let you know
You've been the best part of my life
A gift from heaven
You made me feel alive
Understand that I will always be here
If you ever need a friend,
A shoulder to cry on
A hand to hold
As much as I
wish I was more
It seems that's all
I'll ever be to you.
