I know now I've made promises to you that I just can't keep. It was never my intention to cause you pain. I am devastated by your tears, yet I can no longer hold mine back. I wanted so desperately to be loved - I selfishly stole yours while never really giving you mine.
This lie I'm living is eating me up inside. I fear the consequences I must face for being so cruel. Yet I must let you go. Please know I will always care for you and treasure the moments we've shared. However, it is time for me to set you free.
The hurt will pass, you will go on, you must go on.
