The Day You Said Goodbye
2003
Another day without you is another day I’ve lost
I can’t stop thinking about the last time I saw you
The day you said goodbye to me
You told me all of the reasons why I had to let you go
I stayed with you for hours, desperately holding on
Praying that each word you said wouldn’t be the last
I could see your hands tremble as you reached for me
Your tears streaming down your beautiful face
I held you in my arms and you melted into my chest one last time
I reached out for your hand as we drifted apart
I felt your fingers slip across my skin
My heart screamed out in silence
I turned and staggered away
It was just the start of the long goodbye
I knew love wasn’t enough to keep us together
But it would always be too much to keep us apart
