I Can't Leave Now

By: Melinda Merry Burnett

I know we said it's over
I know we're supposed to be through
But now we're sitting here
Tears in our eyes
Hearts aching
Missing what we had
My life hasn't been the same since you were gone
The smile that you made come to life
Has been gone since the day you went away
But again you looked in my eyes
And the smile I thought was gone forever
Shined brightly on my face
Just like nothing had changed
Us holding each other
Like it used to be
You telling me you cared
Just like you used to
Makes it impossible to leave
Memories so hard to forget
Are rushing through my head
I can't tell you to walk away
When you're all I have been hoping
Wishing, and praying for
I've been right here waiting for you
Now that you're here
I can't hold back the tears
I can't hide the way I still feel
I'm still in love with you
And every day that goes by
I think about you and what we had
There's nothing I wanted more
Than to have you back in my arms
It drives me crazy
But there's nothing I can do
I wanna be with you
I still remember the day
You said those sweet words to me
And to hear those again
Makes it too hard to leave
I've been crying since you went away
I've been missing you so much
What am I left to do
But take you back into my heart
And just pray for the best
Because for me there's only you
And I can't just walk away now
When you're all I want
When you're all I need
