Separate ways

She said that it was over, we were through,
and we would have to go our separate ways.

It was the one thing I didn't want to do,
but she said that it could be no other way.

I told her it was so hard to watch her walk away,
it was killing me to see her leave this way. 

But she said she didn't know what else to do,
cause in her heart, her feelings for me were through.

I asked her if we could just please try again,
I didn't want to lose my lover and my best friend.

And after quite a while, I did see her smile,
as she opened up her arms and tried to let me in.

But she just couldn't stop talking about the past,
and all the things I did that made her think it wouldn't last.

She said it was so hard when we were apart,
that is why she gave our love just one more try.

But still at times I hear her say, this is just so hard,
as she puts evermore distance between her heart and mine.

And I wonder why it now has to be this way,
I long for the days when I was her everything.

But now I'm just a friend she might see once in a while,
if she can find the time, seldom though it be.
