I realised
Love is
In the joy
Of letting go
Cant clasp
Through force

And yet
His exit
Leaves me numb

I knew
All the while
Our paths
Would never meet

And yet
His exit
Leaves me numb

I lived
A thousand lives
With him around
A new me
With him each time

No wonder
His exit
Leaves me numb

Perhaps
We loved
Too much

No wonder
His exit
Leaves me numb

And then
He turns back
Says
Keep my heart
It is yours to keep

No wonder
His exit
Leaves me numb
