I can't choose your battle

You let it go!
It doesn't matter, you said,
It's just a small thing, he made a mistake
And how does it hurt me to turn away
Instead of staying to fight?
It's a better way to handle things.

I know, but you were right!
You were right and he was wrong!
Doesn't it gall you? You're so calm!
I'm angry, and bitter, and nurse the hurt along.
Why not stay and prove your place,
let him be the one to leave broken, shame-faced?
Can you really have the kind of strength
To leave, and let it go, and really move on?
And let him believe he's right, with you wrong?
