When I said I couldn't do this anymore,
That was when you were supposed to wrap me in your arms and promise it would be okay.

I've realized that even the sharpest words can wound a strong heart.

Don't hold my hand if all you are going to do is let go.
I've already been through that twice with you.

You were wrong,
I am okay.
Yeah, I said that with tears in my eyes.
So what?

Sweetheart, don't hold your breath,
We both know this isn't going to be easy.

We ended to long ago to call it love this time..

And it was the words spoken that ended what we actually had left...

It's not the fact I'm letting you go,
It's the fact I now see that all along I was just a shoulder for you to lean on,
A heart for you to break.

Sometimes the hardest choices in a relationship are the ones that are the best for you both.

I don't only want to forget the promises that have been made to me,
I also don't ever want to be made a promise again.
