Please leave my thoughts

All these thoughts

Are running through my head

I try to keep them at bay

But they break free and fill my head again

Everyday I think of you

Think of all we have done together

All the good times we had

And even of the fights that we had

I wonder if we were really meant to be

Were we too similar for each other?

Or just incompatible because we are so different

I wonder how we ever fell in love at all

I wonder did you ever really love me

All these things you ever told me,

Where they lies or the truth?

Did you ever want to marry me?

Why could you not love me for me?

Why were you scared about being a father?

Did you not trust me to be a good wife?

Or did you not love me at all?

I realise I'm not perfect, nor will I ever be

I know I'm to blame for our split

But you got to take some of the blame too

Because you are not perfect either

Don’t try to act the victim in this

You may have been hurt by me

But I have also been hurt to

All because you gave up on me

I just want to forget about you

I am thankful for having met you

Don’t regret the past at all

But I want to look to the future

So please leave my thoughts

Don’t be there when I wake

Don’t be there when I sleep

Please leave my thoughts

I did love you, but no more

I did care you, still do

But I don’t want to think about you anymore

So please leave my thoughts
