Too Hard to See

The brain is the king,
it makes the rules.
Yet the heart lives on,
it makes us the fools.

I saw you today,
so happy, so free.
It's what I wanted,
how I knew you should be.

It's clear I miss you.
It's a fact so true,
I admit my loss
The greatest love I knew.

Why, oh why
did I let you go,
I toil and toss,
from the answer I know.

You had to be free,
I did what I must.
The hardest choice
putting love over lust.

I'm lost it's true,
and it hurts me so,
but I did it for you,
not to be your foe.

I wasn't right
and only I knew,
but it pains me so,
to pass that clue.

What did I feel
and was it love?
Was it given to me
from the heavens above?

I weep, and weep,
from a loss I have made.
Yet from your sight
I will slowly fade.

I did what was right,
or so I thought.
Yet I miss you now
despite lessons taught.

It burns and burns,
so deep in my chest.
To know I could never
be your very best.

Move on, move on
but go without me,
I wish you the best,
but it's too hard to see.

Was it love we had?
I'll never know,
but you're built to love
and I'm just a show.

Move on, move on,
but go without me,
I wish you the best,
but it's too hard to see.
