I Would Have To Politely Turn You Away
And if you were to come crawling back to me now
I would have to politely turn you away
I have found one that can make my heart happy
After you destroyed it
I know it was with your best intentions in mind
But I'm telling you if you would've held on to the love we shared
The love you claimed to love with me
You would have made us
You found me after a dark time and you left me
But only when you could see what it was
You didn't take the time to understand
You just knew that it was taxing and didn't want to try
So if you were to show up on my doorstep tomorrow
Asking me to love you again
My response would be simple and short:
"I never stopped loving you.
But you destroyed me and I need better."
Quietly I would close the door
Sit behind it waiting for you to leave
Begging the air around us to thin
I would sit and cry
Cry for you
Because you lost something irreplaceable
And it took too long to realize that
My heart is finally happy again
The pieces have been found and sewn back together
You, you are a memory of my past
A memory that teaches me every day
And so if you were to come back now
I would have to politely turn you away
For reasons I have yet to understand
