Walk Away

I look back on what happened between us

Only occasionally

When the right song comes on

Bringing the far away

Deep in thought

Look to my eyes

It's almost like feeling for a ghost

An amputated portion of my life

A limb lost

To moments lived

So long ago

I went through the motions

The hurt, disbelief, anger

The forgiveness

And now moving on

I can no longer pretend to ever understand

Why you walked away

I just know

I wanted us more

At some point I stopped asking why

Coming to peace with our goodbye

I moved onto new love

Then here you come

Your words contradicting

The picture your actions paint

I know this crossroad

A choice I must make

With my hand raised

To his lips for a gentle kiss

The far away look is washed away

I choose my path

To take his hand

and from you

This time, I walked away
