It’s over

Although I look out the window every day,
I’ll pretend I cannot see you.
I don’t want you to get hurt, honey.
Just leave.

It’s stronger than me,
but I must stop it.
Believe me…
That’ll be better.

It will end,
before it starts for good.
It must be so and don’t try to change it.
I’ll just leave.

I know it’s stronger than you,
but you must stop it.
Believe me…
That’ll be better.
