Love Story

Her mind tells her to let go but her heart tells her to hold on
The happiest times were the memories you both created together
How is she supposed to forget all that? How is she supposed to forget you?
What I don't understand is that you tell her how important she is to you
But you don't realize that through your actions you let her cry in bed at night

Today an old man told me "never let go of the love of your life"
Because when I was your age I lost the love of my life and had to marry someone else
Listen: He doesn't want you in a way that you want him
But he keeps you near, it's egoistic, it's cruel

She did her part, she hopes her absence gives you peace
She's slowly moving on but she'll never forget how hard she wanted everything with you
What if she never forgets you? What if all her life, she can never fall for someone new?
Why does no one talk about how hard it is to walk away from someone you absolutely adore?
