What's Best For You

What's Best For You

Because I love you,

I want what's best for you.

I want to sing songs with you,

and even write poems with you.

I want to lay in bed with you,

and go to the pumpkin patch with you.

I don't want to argue with you,

I want to be at peace with you.

Because I love you,

I want what's best for you.

But what's best for you,

isn't what's best for me.

I have scars on my heart,

rather than flowers in my hand.

And maybe that's okay,

because you love me anyway.

But I love me too,

and what's best for me definitely isn't you.

Please forgive me for leaving you,

Because I love you and I wanted what was best for you.
