through the eyes of a merciless youth

remember the day you gave it away?
i thought i lost you forever.
i heard you say you’re leaving today.
i don’t know what to do now.
i couldn’t be all that you want me for.
it’s a relief because you deserve so much more.
i couldn’t see your beauty,
so hold on to the one that you adore.
but you’re still the one that i’ve been waiting for.
