Walk Away

The hardest thing I ever had to do,
Was walk away from you.

The day I did,
I walked away from myself too.

I walked away from the part of me that I could never understand,
The part of me that didn’t want to be my friend.

I didn’t walk away from all of you,
Just the part that you didn’t know,
Just the part that was lost in the dark,
Just the part, not the whole of you.

You’ll always be in my heart,
That brilliant side,
That wonderful, dependable, smart,
Healthy, happy you.
