If you must leave
Do not stumble over your words
I can easily sense regret
Leave neither a thought nor a feeling unheard
Let loose the secrets you’ve kept
If you must leave
Do not cry so readily
Your tears will senselessly fall away
Down they plummet so heavily
Carrying the weight of my mistakes
If you must leave
Embrace me not out of sympathy
I cannot bear another touch
Do not even hold me out of pity
Of that, I’ve had enough
Do not linger so needlessly
Just utter goodbye as you turn away
And if you really must leave me
Please don’t, today is not that day
