Beth Bailey - New Year's Tears

You stood me up.
And you don't even offer an excuse.
I call. You don't answer.
Your texts on New Year's Eve stopped the moment I said
'I love you'.
I don't know what changed for you in the last few days,
But I get the message loud and clear.
I do have some pride.
And as much as I love you, as much as it hurts, I will let you go.
It's what you want.
I always would give you whatever you wanted.

Beth Bailey
