For Phil

KATIE MELUA

"Piece By Piece"

First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin.

Piece by piece
is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

First of all must fly,
My dreams of you and I,
There's no point of holding on to those
And then our ties will break,
For your and my own sake

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

I'll shed like skin,
Our memories of lazy days,
And fade away the shadow of your face

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
One at a time
One at a time

Dear Phil, I've held onto my dreams of you and I for so long. I need to let go and become whole. There's just certain things I need to accept about myself and the world. I just wanted you to know that I think your such a lovely guy and you treated me well, for that I am grateful. You deserve the best in everything and so do I. You don't have to put up with stuck-up girls and I don't have to put up with men crushing my dreams and self-esteem.

There is nothing here for me and I know I will be happy in Malaysia. I'm going back in July for a holiday first, if I find work I will stay. I can only hope that in the future I will find someone I can love as much as I loved you. I am so sorry for playing with our hearts like yo-yos and not being there for you. I had to find out about life and love the hard way i guess. It's time i forgave myself and maybe you can too one day.

Don't settle for second best, you and I are worth more than that but now i understand that our paths may never cross again. I wish you love, luck and happiness Phil

If you really intend to go to Australia take good care of yourself on your adventure. I can see you being happy there. Do it right the first time.

It's probably not a great idea to message me back anymore so I wont be expecting a reply. It's ok, you don't have to say anything. I get the feeling you know what i am saying is for the best for both of us.
