one last day

I tried my best to hold you near,

But your heart’s not mine, I fear.

I love you still, but it’s not right,

I must let go, though it’s a fight.

I can’t make you love me too,

I can’t change what’s true for you.

So I’ll let go, but hear my plea,

Give one last memory to me.

Hold my hand, don’t let it go,

Stay with me, just let it show.

Look at me, don’t turn away,

Kiss my forehead, one last day.

I will leave and fade from view,

But my heart will stay with you.

If someday you’re feeling torn,

Call my name, I’ll still be yours.

I don’t blame you, I’m not mad,

But this love just makes me sad.

Though we part, I hope you see,

You’ll always mean the world to me.

Hold my hand, don’t let it go,

Stay with me, just let it show.

Look at me, don’t turn away,

Kiss my forehead, one last day.

Though I’m gone, so far away,

In your heart, I hope I stay.

If you’re lost, just call for me,

I’ll be there, no matter where I’ll be.

Hold my hand, don’t let it go,

Stay with me, just let it show.

Look at me, don’t turn away,

Kiss my forehead, one last day.

If one day you’re hurt and need my care,

Say my name, I’ll still be there.
