ergh.

no, i will not interfere,
but do not expect me
to just sit here, and watch
you fall in love with someone else.

it's unfamiliar to me,
such a stinging irony,
i'm the girl watching from the sidelines,
as you and her plan out a new life.

but i refuse to look,
not willingly,
i know that we're over,
you and me,
and i know i've got to let it be.

the only way i can carry out my plan,
is if i pretend we've never held hands,
that we're just passing strangers,
on a street, busy, crowded,
with shuffling feet.

i'm sorry that this is how it must be,
i've got to let go completely,
drop you out of my life entirely,
i simply need a clean break
to get rid of this dull ache.
