you,
you were going to break my heart
and me?
i was definitely going to let you
i think i knew it from the start
but somehow that never stopped me
from falling for you hook, line, and sinker
letting you in past all my defenses
and then on that cold april morning
you spoke those words
free of all pretenses
but fully aware of the consequences

it broke our hearts in unison
your decision to jettison
what it was we'd found
this love beyond all comparison
and it was together that we mourned the loss of love on your part
and my inability to let go, to move on and let my heart be unadorned

i know in my heart you were it for me
i am never going to love again, not really
and now i have to learn to live with this pain
like an amputee learns to live with their phantom limb
