Break it to me gently,
I need time to let it sink,
Whisper softly, don't rush away,
Let me hold on, let me think.

Our memories are woven deep,
Etched in my heart, they will stay.
If you must leave, leave a trace,
For a moment, don't drift away.

Break it to me gently,
Let my heart slowly mend,
I know we both have to move on,
But can we pretend, just for now?

The laughter, the dreams we've shared,
Live in every breath I take.
If you must go, then tread lightly,
For both our sake.

Break it to me gently,
Allow me to find my way.
Love me one more time today,
For tomorrow, I'll be okay.
