which way

​I didn't see which way you went
when you left last time
I didn't step out the front door or watch you
walk around the corner
and out of my life
I don't know if you looked back
because for once
I did not sit and gaze
for days at the last place
I saw your face
I asked you to leave
and I have no idea if you went or where
or if you are somewhere near here..
waiting for the word
that you can return
I didn't see which way you went
when you left
I didn't ask questions and I will try
not to cry
out your name
into the sky
and I will claim
that finally I
will be just fine
I sware this time
I won't chase you
I want stop you
I won't beg you please to stay...
I won't make up some excuse
to track you down
invite you back
around
I didn't see which way you went when you left
this time
all I know is that you never were
or ever will be mine
and all I can do is let you go...
all I can do is not watch you leave
all I can do is move on with my life
and never mention
how I may want or need
to see if you'll find your way back to me...
