TO WALK AWAY

TO WALK AWAY

Having combined all the experience
Of twenty years of passion,
I chose to walk away from your love
In quite an unemotional fashion.

You were limited by ideas
Of what should and could not be;
You felt that our love was wrong
And said you wanted to be free.

Passion did not come easily;
You never spoke or let it show,
Combined with limited understanding;
I had to walk away, just let it go.

To walk away is very hard
If your love is pure and strong;
Sometimes what has seemed so right
Can be so very, very wrong.
