When You Say You Love Me

You said you love me still and my tears fell unbridled
I don't know if it meant I was forgiven when I broke your heart
Or if those words were meant to console me, knowing I bled too much
but you said you love me and nothing else mattered to me than that.

If my heart could grow wings I'll let it fly to wherever you are
so it would hold you tight until you fell asleep peacefully tonight
I wonder if we ever get the chance to meet again someday
Will you pull me into your arms or will you just walk away?

I have bottled too many emotions inside me since I left
Feelings that were all meant for you yet I was constantly afraid
that you will simply forget and move on as if we had never met
I had to read your words so many times before I was convinced.

Whether or not your words are true, I still want to thank you
For remembering...for not choosing to forget what we had
Thank you for loving me even when I don't deserve it
For sticking around when you should have pushed me away instead.

I missed you more than you'll ever know, more than words can say
A part of me will always belong to you and to the years we shared
I can't ask you to wait for me, I know it would be too much
all I ask is for you to tell me honestly when you want to set me free.
