Without you

To love is to cherish
To love is to know
When to hold on and when to let go
My love for you was so strong that I couldn't bear to let you go
And so pure that I couldn't bear to keep you against your will
You were dear to my heart
But I couldn't dare keep you caged
If only you know how much it hurts to see you cry
If only you know how much my heart hurts seeing you leave
Watching your back disappearing into the distance
Snowdrops falling on your black silky hair
I could feel my heart thumping wildly
My eyes stinging with tears
But I didn't cry
I wouldn't cry
I refused to cry
I chose to believe that you would turn around and run into my arms
Telling me that it was just a joke
But you didn't turn around
And the tears I've been trying so hard to keep fell off my cheeks
The coldness increased but I was already numb
Life without you was not worth living
