Not in Vain

Gone without a trace,
to go back where it’s safe.
No one will see these tears upon my face,
I will keep them hidden, with my Southern grace.

With the tears I shed,
I feel so dead.
But I know I’m alive,
from these feelings inside.

I don’t want to lose sight,
for what is right.
I’m at an all time low,
from letting you go.

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep,
all I seem to do is weep.
I will go through this pain,
to prove it’s not in vain.

When you look at the moon,
No matter where you are,
think of the girl who loves you –
whether near or far.

None of us are perfect,
I know this to be true.
We all have choices,
it’s what you ultimately choose to do.
