I should let you go.
You'll get hurt.
But I keep holding on.
Hoping that you won't leave.
Trusting you won't hurt me.
You deserve better.
Someone who isn't like me.
Someone who knows for sure if they love you.
Someday maybe I will.
But I don't want you to wait.
I'd rather you find happiness without me.
Honestly, I'd love to keep you.
But I know it isn't right.
So I keep telling myself a simple phrase.
'Just a little while longer.'
I know it's a lie.
But it's one I'll reluctantly believe.
