Difficult Choices

I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say.
But through my very fingertips I feel you slipping away.

It scares me to death because I don't want it to end.
Every moment forever and ever, with you I want to spend.

I still need you - you're the love of my life.
Hell, you even talk about making me your wife.

Yet I feel the gap betweem us growing every day.
It just gets bigger the longer I'm away.

We're so serious, yet it feels so right.
Even in the darkness, you make me see the light.

The hardest thing I've ever done is leave you.
yet I don't have a choice; this is something I HAVE TO DO!

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"
is a phrase I often ponder.

Yet "out of sight, out of mind" is something
that makes me wonder if I should just have a fling.

With each passing day, letter, e-mail, and call,
it gets both easier and harder!  I don't know what to do about it all!

I want to make it work, and I know it can.
Yet reality sets in, and I don't know if that's something I can stand.

I'm not untrusting, I just don't like what I hear.
It would just be so much easier if we were near.
