I Could See We WERE ON THE EDGE

Love this poem...
I can see that this won’t be long
Cause my love for you is no longer strong,
I have changed and I don’t want to lie,
Because that’s something I really can’t deny.

You know that I really don’t want to pretend
That’s why I’m bringing this to its end,
Hurting you is the least I could intend,
But it would be better if we’ll be off as friends.

Please understand if I’ll leave you behind
Don’t try to stop me, I won’t change my mind,
This time I know it’s better for us to part,
And I really am sorry but you've hurt me once to much.

Lend me your ears on what I’m going to say
I also feel sad that we have to end this way
But there’s nothing more that I could do to stay,
Because sometimes, love really fades away.

There are times that we must say goodbye
Even though it hurts, we must learn to try,
You will only cause me more pain and will make me cry,
And there’s no other escape but to bid goodbye.

Parting is the only path that I chose
Though my heart for you is not yet closed,

Someday you will find someone better than me and
She will be all to you that I couldn’t be,
And from now on, don’t ever think of me,
Cause now, I’m only you’re used to be.
