Maybe

Your radiating smile warms
the darkest corners of my heart.
You make me feel safe
and nothing else matters when we're together.

But we're not together, now.
And I don't know what to do.
I feel lost and confused and alone.
I just want to be with you.

But, maybe it's better this way.
Maybe, I'm better off alone,
Like I've always been before.

Maybe, my heart won't skip a beat
when you enter a room.
Maybe, when your hand brushes mine
I won't feel a thing.

Maybe, when you smile
my heart won't melt.
Maybe, I'll be happier without you,
Without your arms around me,
Making me feel safe.

Maybe, I could learn to live without you.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll live long enough to forget you.
Maybe, I'll die trying.
