"For Bridgett"
I've loved you for so long
I hear "us" in every song
All the while I knew
You'd never know how I felt about you.
Thinking about us set my soul on fire
For years now you've been my only desire
But as I obsessed
Through feeling joy and being depressed
I always knew the day would come
When my fantasies would start to seem dumb
But then it's not just MY soul, it'd be yours too,
Sooner or later I'd have to choose
And as I grow up I'm starting to see
There are bigger things than you and me
As much as I'd love to be yours forever
I now know we weren't meant to be together
And I know I could sit and wish and wish,
But I know in my heart I'm not that selfish
I know there's things I must accept
Through the nights that I have wept.
But after all that I just want you to know
I love you enough to let you go
