I hear it carried across the breeze

The thought brings me to my knees

I could beg, whimper and plead

The signs are there if I will read

I want you to remember how it felt

When at your alter I often knelt

But that is just my wishful thinking

As I see that the ship is sinking

I want, I want is all I ever seem to say

The mantra repeats through my day

I only tell you that my heart is broke

So you'll know it wasn't a joke

Were I the author I'd never choose

This ending in which I will lose

Love is defined as being selfless

Can it it be true as I'm so selfish?

You were by far the better part

Of every beat from my broken heart

I know you, and that you fear

The way others think of you dear

Hear me when I say you're the best

You simply outclass all the rest

I hope when my name is brought

You'll think of me when you I taught

Or you'll remember that I was kind

If you needed help it's me you'd find

You'll haunt me forever it's true

Better than losing the memory of you

I'll toss and turn trying to sleep

As memories of you quietly creep

You'll say we are no longer friends

I can't accept that's how this ends

I promise that I'm not trying to plead

To give excuses is what I need

Your a handful, but all I want to hold

How silly of me to be so bold

I've cried for so very long

Given the finality of this song

God how you've made me so happy

One look at you and I'm all sappy

Promise me that you'll never tell

My secrets you've kept so well

Go ahead and close that door

Don't look back at me on the floor

You can be anything you want

Your wit, brains and beauty to flaunt

So before you tell me I already know

That you love me but you have to go
