Let Go

You and I
we do this dance
Each of us not willing
To take a chance

Apart we decided
Was the best
Decision to make
Each not knowing
How our hearts
would break

So we go on our way
Living without each other
Walking the same path
Every day

Together we stand
in a crowded room
We clearly see
But we look straight through
As we pass

Trying to pretend
That we don't miss each other
And we're not mourning
the loss of a friend

So I take a chance
And I try to see
What it was you saw
when you looked at me

Perhaps naive
I want to see you
And no matter
how hard I tried
I could not meet your eye

So I took a breath
and held my head high
And from across the room
I whispered,  Good bye
