How Do I Start

How do I start
when I don't know how it ends

How did I love
when we've barely been friends

You unlocked my heart
and kept the key.
Will you even remember me?

Or will you carry your keys
on one big chain,
not even knowing each by name?

How do I show
before you leave
just how significant 
you are to me?

How do I grieve 
before you go 
to make our remaining 
time pass slow?

I led you on,
then I cut you out.
Can I still repair
what came from my mouth?

I want you to stay
now it's clearer than day.
But it's not my place to say,

So now
here I stand
watching you
go away.
