Just Because.

Did you think
That when you left,
I would be okay?

Did you think,
that just because you aren't here,
My problems would go away?

Just because
you can't hear my screams,
does that mean
they aren't there?

Just because,
you're never coming back,
does that mean
I'm not supposed to care?

I should let you go.
My heart won't allow it.
I know if you were ever to return,
My heart just couldn't deny it.

But it isn't worth it.
When will I realize,
that it never was,
When will my heart forget you,
and keep on living,
Just because.
