Departure

Help sounds so good
Concern feels so calming
How could I let all of them go
And let myself be forgotten

You would always say
That I am beautiful and loving
You would always say
That nobody lets go

I've been thinking
How could a person like you
Hurt someone so beautiful
Like me

I've been thinking
How could you let go
Of someone so loving
Like me

Then I knew the answer
It has been there
All along
In front of me

It wasn't through my eyes
That you've seen beauty
But instead beyond
These shoulders

It's not through my heart
That you've seen love
But only upon
The touch of my lips

It's not in me
That you've felt love
But only within
My embraces and caress

You weren't there
For the passion
You were there
For the company

Then you weren't there
For the company
You were there
For the label

Then you weren't there
For the label
Finally you weren't there
Not anymore
