I Love You, But…
I'm sorry for what he does to you,
His words that break your heart,
But did you know that when your heart broke
My own would tear apart?
Did you know that when I heard you cry
Your tears would mix with mine?
Or that when you thought you burned so dim
That I could see you shine?
But I see the way he looks at you
When you don't look his way.
And I know that soon I'll die, I'll fade,
But you and he will stay.
I can't be what you need from me,
Too often I fall ill,
And though it hurts to say these words,
Your better choice is Will.
I love you, Tessa, don't think I don't,
But that's how it must be.
I know it seems so cruel to you
But Will would do the same for me.
So go, be happy, live your life
With Will, and then you'll see.
Just look back on some happy times
And please remember me.
