Letting go

I am sorry but I must get going.

We cannot be friends

When you look at me you see a friendly face

When you look at me you see happiness perched on my lips

When I look at you I see pain and sadness

Not pain because you will hurt me 

Not pain because you will break my heart

Not pain because you will never see me the way I see you

But pain because I look at you and see so much love and caring

But now is not the time nor will it ever be.

Oh, look at the hour.

I’m sorry but I must go. 

(When you let go of a toxic friendship.)
