The moment I turned
and walked away
I felt my heart break a little
He didn't chase
Slowly taking steps
Without looking back
I couldn't hear his footsteps
But I couldn't backtrack
I felt my feet getting heavy
dragging them along
Desperately wanting to run
Back to where I belong
Within his arms safely
Standing side by side
Contently drifting along
As gentle waves by the seaside
The happiest they've ever seen me
Most carefree I've ever been
I was completely in love
A world consisting of just me and him
Though a raging river stood
Between our hearts
And in the end I was
The one left behind in the dark
As I raised my head high
Marching along to a beat
I've learnt to smile yet again
At last I can feel complete
Time has passed over
And not once did he chase
But the moment he did
It was already to late
I grew tired of running
Trailing after him
Was it really to much effort
To try and run after me too?
When I got up
Letting go of his hand
he didn't try to stop me
I guess this was where he stands
I knew then
***He doesn't love me
And he never will***
We have reached our limits
He no longer needs me
I've given all that I can give
So no matter what happens now
I'm not turning back

If you spend all your time running after somebody else
And the moment you stop chasing them and turn to walk away
If they don't chase or even try to stop you
then they aren't worth it
You deserve so much more then that
