You told me you're leaving
and oh it hurt...it tore my heart
but I don't understand how it can hurt
when I've done nothing but
wish you gone for the last year.
So why does it suddenly feel
like I've lost...everything?
Isn't this just what I'd been
hoping for?
Why do I cry when you can't see?
Why do I touch you when
you are sitting there?
Why does your smile mean so much?
And your laughter even more?
I never stopped loving you.
I just stopped believing in us.
I stopped believing we could
make things work.
Make things better...not even that
just just be happy I guess.
I think I have forgotten how...
...to be happy that is.
You told me you're leaving
and it tore my heart apart.
I want to say don't go
but I don't know how...
...not anyway you would believe.
You told me you're leaving
Please, please don't go.

probably best to go though, even though it hurts

Ah, been there... It is hard in that sort of situation to follow your heart. I think that if you let your heart do the talking, it will come out right, because in the end, you might regret not trying even more.
