close the door

Today you finally spoke of her,

That’s when I came to see

That she was everything to you

That I could never be.

It came as no surprise to me

I knew I’d not compare

But when you cried the whole day through,

It was more than I could bare.

I wished that I could hold you

And take away your pain

But you pulled yourself away from me,

It was then my heart was slain.

You told me how you missed her

And it broke my heart in two

To see you feeling so much pain

When there’s nothing I can do.

And then I finally realized,

You were asking me for space

You never spoke those words to me

But I read it on your face.

That’s when my tears came flowing

Harder than they were before,

Because I knew the time had come

For you to close the door.

I said I’d wait forever

Then I gave you one last kiss

And I prayed that there would come a day

When it’s me that you will miss.
