Yearn


When you pass me by there will come a time,

When you turn to see what you left behind,

I will not be there. I did not follow,

I did not stop to watch you go,

I move on my own.

What I say to erase your name.

Your mind your own, if you stopped or when,

I don't know.

Hate to know,

Who finished higher.

Yearn you are at a peak too,

And when I held you, you held me,

When I thought of you, you of me,

I loved you, and you me.

I do not carry you anymore,

I want to think you let me go too.
