I had always sort of thought that you would be there..
                        somehow, though I never really expected it of you..
                        in fact, I wanted you to go on.. without me..
                        I was so afraid, I wouldn't be enough..
                        and you were so willing to give up so much, for me..
                        I couldn't take that chance.. couldn't ask that of you..

                        For months I turned away, afraid to even talk to you..
                        afraid that you would still be there.. waiting..
                        so I kept silent, and hoped, that you would forget..
                        and you did, eventually..
                        Maybe not forgot, but you went on..
                        and found a life without me..

                        And now.. now I feel the emptiness..
                        knowing that a part of my life has been closed off..
                        now it is I that must go on..
                        hopefully a bit wiser now..
                        knowing that my doubts were just that.. mine..
                        they were not yours..

                        But I will not go on without you..
                        because.. always..
                        a part of you stays with me..
                        just as I have been with you..
                        Always..
