Wishing You Well

I saw you just the other day,
For the first time in weeks,
You made the effort to talk to me,
It was nice to catch up, to speak.

You told me how your day was,
And how your job has been,
I listened to everything you said,
You were happier than I'd ever seen.

I told you about how I'm getting on.
I lied to you, said I'm great.
How could I tell you how much I'm hurting,
Since you left me in this state?

I just wanted to tell you I missed you,
And that my life is incomplete,
When you're not here I can barely breathe,
My existence seems obsolete.

But I know we went our separate ways,
And that I need to let you go.
It's so hard to watch you walk away,
When I'll see you again, I don't know.

I wish that things were different,
That you were still here by my side.
But I know that we couldn't work it out,
No matter how hard we tried.

I'm trying to convince myself,
That we're better off apart.
But it's not so easy to think that,
When you still have my heart.

I know you'll live a wonderful life,
And all your hopes and dreams will come true.
So at least one of us will be happy.
Because I can't be happy without you.
