Walk away don’t look back

Walk away don’t look back

Walk away, do not look back

your footsteps are lighter than mine

your world is still waiting for you

mine has already been lived

I never asked for this love

yet it found me when I was not searching

you with your laughter and easy charm

me with lines already carved in my face

We held each other in quiet places

where no one questioned the years between us

you touched my hands as if they were new

I kissed your lips as if time had no claim

But I know what love can take

and I know what it leaves behind

your path must be free to grow

my heart must learn to let go

So walk away, do not look back

carry me only as a memory

I will stand in silence and watch you fade

grateful I was loved by you once
