You will understand

You never saw this part of me,

The silent tears when I set you free.

You think I’m cold, untouched, and gone,

But I break quietly when the night drags on.

I watched you love me like a storm restrained,

But behind your laugh, I felt the pain.

You fought the ghosts you’d never named,

While I danced in shadows, holding blame.

Maybe you’d bleed for me, it’s true,

But I needed breath, not drowning blue.

No more saving you and losing me—

I’m breaking free, I’m finally free.

I loved you, God, I loved you deep,

But loving you meant I had to weep.

Your touch, your kiss, still haunt my hands,

But now it’s time I choose to stand.

You call me heartless walking away,

But someday when your daughter stays,

You’ll look in her eyes and understand—

Why I had to leave your hand.

Your name still burns beneath my skin,

I left not 'cause I didn’t win—

But ‘cause I knew I couldn’t stay,

Though whispers said I wasn’t enough for you that day.

I dreamed of you, soft and small,

The boy I loved behind the wall.

If you saw my tears at your door,

You’d know leaving broke me to my core.

I loved you—please believe it’s true,

But fading out was all I knew.

You deserve a love that’s whole and bright,

Not haunted by the darkest night.

You’ll hate me now, but when you hold

Your child with hands so soft and cold...

You’ll finally understand.

I hope you find the peace I lost,

You were my song, but not my cause.

And maybe when the silence lands,

You’ll see that letting go...

Was love’s last, quiet dance.

I loved you...

I loved you...

But I had to let you go...

You’ll understand...

You’ll understand...

I loved you...

I loved you...

But I had to let you go...

One day you’ll hold her hand...

And you’ll understand...

I loved you...

I loved you...

But I had to let you go...

You’ll feel the pain, the silent cries...

When she looks at you with trusting eyes...

I loved you...

I loved you...

But I had to let you go...

And when the night is dark and cold...

You’ll understand what can’t be told...

I loved you...

I loved you...

I loved you...

You’ll understand...

You’ll understand...

You’ll understand...
