allow me to bring attention
to what I forgot to mention
I have a predisposition
to build fences when there's tension
and I don't mean to sound
like I'm trying to bring you down
but when you come around
I can't make myself stay on the ground
and this may be a little weird
but I have this irrational fear
of attempting to steer clear
of emotion whenever you are near
so judge me if you have to
I promise I won't be mad at you
we all have to do
what's best when we find our own truth

I promise I won't be mad at you
we all have to do
what's best when we find our own truth
I'm not angry. I'm hurt and upset. I wish we were as good at letting go as we are at saying goodbye.
