Letting go

I'm standing right in front of you with tears streaming down my face.
You walk away with no expression upon your face.
I know deep down inside you don't love me anymore.
I just can't let you go, even though it hurts me right down to the core.

I should lie and tell you that I'm happier this way,
but I have already dropped to my knees and am begging you to stay.

My heart is breaking and I know right now you just don't care
but one day you will look back and realize to me you were not fair.
I often wish I never came to know your love but it is clear your love cannot be undone
I wipe my tears from my eyes and tell myself a sweet little lie.
I know this time my tears won't make you stay
Just another lesson in life I will have to learn from day after day.
