Left Again

He left again, another argument about us

The words he spoke left me to second guess his trust

He always brings your name into any argument we have

Although I've told him time and again, it's over, what we had

The year together with him, started out so fun

But the way he's acting now, makes me want to leave and run

I wonder how we got to here to this place of no return

I won't go back to him, some things aren't meant to last

He made his opinion clear, and said it was up to me

I always thought my love for him would always last

But now the time had come, move ahead and leave him in the past

I packed my bag and left the key, but where to go and just be me?

I wondered who would let me in and let me still be free

My past is gone and I need to move ahead

But our last night together will never leave my head

You told me not to wait for you when you had to go

You didn't know if you'd return, but I tried to make you see

That I could love you while you're gone, I begged you please come home to me

You left the room and closed the door, my tears began to flow

The sobs rang out for hours on end, it took so long to see

You broke my heart that day you left, but with time it became clear

To see the reasons you let me go, your reasons for goodbye

Now, here we are, two years since then

I found a new city, a new job, new friends

My life is not complete, you have too big a hold

I can't move on, you're always there, no matter where I go

The invite came, they found my new life, your friends are good, and you'd expect nothing less

I don't know why I came tonight, just to shut them up

I thought if they saw that I was all right,

They leave me alone to live my new life.

An hour went by and I wanted to go, but they refused my request

One excuse after the other, I wondered their real reason as they moved me from the door

It took a minute to figure it out, a tingle on my neck

I let out a gasp and looked around

There you stood, a warrior, all brave and true

It's like time stood still for us, both of us staring

I wanted to run to you but didn't know if I should

I felt a hand on my back, a gentle push to make me go.

The words I heard were go to him, you know you need him so

You moved towards me and I just stood, frozen in my place

You looked the same yet different too, I didn't know what to do

I watched you walk across the room, a smile upon your face

It took some time to get to me, a slight limp upon your leg

You stopped in front of me, but did not say a word

You opened your arms and then I lost all control

I threw myself into your arms, the tears flowing down my face

You breathed me in and I heard you sigh

I'm sorry I left you all alone, you said, I didn't know if I'd come home

The job was dangerous and success was dim, I resigned my fate, I made my will

My love for you would never die and so I made myself make it back home

So I could tell you I love you so
