So much has changed
So much stays the same
As soon as I think I know
Just as quickly I am confused
I love you
You have my heart
I come to you
Ready to be wrapped in your embrace
I arrive
Your arms around me
Cool air brushes my neck
I pull back
You’re the same as when I left
Time changes some things
Others remain the same
Are you enough
Will you be able to sustain me
Or are you like all the rest
As soon as my interest wains
You let me walk away
I left once
With an ache and sadness
That filled me
To the point of tears
Every day
I think about coming back
To your arms
Hoping they will welcome me
Here I am
Once again
Looking to you
To fill my heart
I step back
And look at you
I realize
It’s in me that something is missing
I don’t think there is only one
that can give me what I need
I realize now that as I learn and grow
I need more than you can give
So I step back
With a tear in my eye
And say goodbye a final time
to my heart, my love
My city, which will forever hold my heart
even though it can no longer hold me
I ache to love you again
but it’s time to say goodbye
