Just because I can

If I shall be granted a favor, will I ask you to leave or stay? It's a difficult decision because really, I don't want you to go. But I know so well that you should. There is no safer place than far away from here. 

But here's where I'm happy. Here's where our time freezes while the rest of the world goes on. I know that away from here, you get to walk on a smoother path, a clearer road. Here, it's always rougher that what you used to know. It's harder than most. But I like stormy and rough as long as it's with you. I know you care less than I do, here or far doesn't really matter. Here is okay, far is okay, too. 

I know you hate drama. And here is a time full of nothing but drama. That's why you must really hate it here sometimes. Far away is chill, it's easy and organized, things happen on the right moment without emotions interfering. 

I want you here. I also want you far away. But you can't be in both places. I know you will just go with the flow, not caring much how things will end up. The puzzle will solve itself anyway. That's the beauty of your life. How comfortable it must be not to worry so much about anything. I hope the story gets easier each time a chapter ends. 

So, will you grant me a favor? 

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you

But ain't nobody need you like I do

I know that there's others that deserve you

But my darling I am still in love with you

But I guess you look happier, you do

My friends told me one day I'll feel it too

I could try to smile to hide the truth

But I know I was happier with you

Baby you look happier, you do

I knew one day you'd fall for someone new

But if he breaks your heart like lovers do

Just know that I'll be waiting here for you
