Saluting with misty eyes

I let her go today
And she's not coming back
I guess she just wasn't mine
She was looking at me
She was seeing him
Lost in the love he gave her
Trapped in the love I had
Torn between the worlds of both
She couldn't move on
I wouldn't let her go
She didn't want to leave
I could see the confusion in her eyes
If I loved her why did I set her free
Why would I push her to him
No, I didn't lie
My mind didn't change
The choice was simple
She's happy there
Easy decision, hard to do
I loved her
So I let her go
