In a Blink

You perceived to see a future
I knew that you would leave
So I placed away my heart
That I wore upon my sleeve

I became so distant
I knew that's what you'd need
And I recall myself
Almost falling to my knees

That was when my heart dropped
When it broke apart
I knew that you were leaving
I knew that from the start

We were something special
I had you there to hold
But I would have to push away
So that you could go

I'm just so Damn proud of you
And what you have achieved
You didn't think you had it in you
Something you never believed

I'm glad that I could help you
And I still wish that you were here
I saw you needed out
So I made it very clear

That if I became closed off
There be no reason you would stay
No goodbye, no resolution
Then you are on your way

I saw that you were trying
Yet didn't want to say goodbye
I made it easy for you
You could spread your wings and fly

You knew that you were leaving
Fearing a moment we would share
Did not want to hurt, or feel the pain
Because we both did truly care

I love you and I miss you
Of that I will not hide
I'll keep you safely tucked away
So that I am warm inside

Your true feelings about me
I still wonder what you think
Perception is a two way street
A lot can happen in a blink
