You Choose to be Left Behind [paraphrased revision]

You choose to be the one left

As opposed to be the one leaving

I condone your choice you’ve made

Admiring that you have held on

Enduring any pain at all that I

Had never wished upon you


Throughout the time we have shared

I’ve learned so many different things

I have learned that love is color-blind

And loving someone isn’t always enough

No matter how much we want to believe

The truth is, it sometimes takes more

One night I opened the door for you

When it seemed my love had become

More bitter to your taste buds

With all the strength I had within me

I gave you the choice of stopping the loneliness

Or holding on to the scarce minutes to be savored


I see now that you would not leave me

Whether you couldn’t or just won’t

Instead you’d rather push me away

All that has failed has been my own undoing

I will not blame you for taking all I gave

And my memories will hang still-framed
