Don't Leave

I've never thanked you properly
For saving me
And so I hope you felt it
With all the things I've done.

But I'm tired of waiting
For an answer that'll never come
And so I stopped
And also continued on.

I've never known a day
For the past year
Where you wouldn't be here,
Until now.

And I cried,
The silence shot through
My heart and I've never felt
Such an emptiness before.

Then I understood,
But it was too late,
The last day of my year,
And I feel the tears erupting again

But I said,
"Don't."
Because who am I
To keep you here?
