Don't Wait For Me

Life with you, a treasure
Moments shared, golden
When you said "Yes"
My heavens opened
This is for a good reason
You are my good luck charm

Rolling with you, I learnt patience
The good times taught me gratitude
The sad times taight me experience
Even when I laid with another
You forgave in advance

How can I pay you back
We named our kids
Visualised our homes
Together, we painted the future
You sacrificed everything for me
Because i was your King

You gave me hope
When life's cruelties overwhelmed me
Wrapped me in your chest
With the tingling sensation of your breast
And told me "It will be well"
But don't wait for me

We were young and naive
For years we planned
Everyone envied us
We painted the city blue and white
For once, we never held back
But don't wait for me

In this journey called "I Do"
Where death is the terminus
I suddenly realised
We can't play the sentimental card
Except we desire a lifetime endurance
So, please, don't wait for me

I guess you understand now
I just want us to be happy
For the rest of our lives
I know you will hurt
But you will also heal
And later appreciate our choice

You are not an enemy
Never will I erase your memory
Neither am I the heartless one
Indecision is a decision not to decide
So, I have decided to move on
Hoping you will not be my greatest regret

Sincerely, I still love you
But I guess this is where the road ends
For the years we have wasted
The promises left unkept
Dreams left unfulfilled
Cast the blame on me

If I say "Don't wait for me"
It is for a good reason
That you may fly like a bird
And meet the vessel HE prepared for you
For there is a man for every woman
And a woman for every man

I pen this with a bleeding heart
For somewhere in my heart
You have a very special place
And you will always be my jewel
Even if we are not together
Please, move on, the future is brighter

Let me tell you a secret
Please don't tell no one
Men cry too, yes we do
And it's okay to cry, at times like this
Especially when it hurts
But we got to be the man

Sad the darts life throws at us
That of happiness, that of sadness
As I put a closure to this
I pray you find peace
And everything you ever wanted
But please, don't wait for me
