Leaving You

Waiting on our bench
I thought about the past
I wish there was a way
Our dying love could last

You've begged me not to leave
You plead and you cry
Pretending to be in love
Would only be a lie

I fought for words to say
To make you understand
I need to be on my own
These feelings came unplanned

I stared down at the bench
A place I've grown to miss
It held so many memories
Including our first kiss

I wondered if it was right
To end it all right here
As time kept passing by
I begin to fill with fear

So long we've been together
It's hard to just forget
I hoped the fear I felt
Wouldn't turn into regret

You've given me so much
I was about to break your heart
There were no right words to say
And no right place to start

I saw you in the distance
Walking down the street
Hands were in your pocket
Staring at your feet

You knew that it was over
Your posture told it all
So much guilt inside me
I begin to feel so small

The closer that you got
My heart began to race
I couldn't bear to see
The look across your face

You sat down next to me
Neither of us could speak
Every time I tried
I felt scared and so weak

When I turned to face you
I didn't know what to do
I didn't know how to say
That I'm leaving you
