Oh how bittersweet a moment such as this is, knowing never again
will I lay my lips on yours, cup my hand in your hand and wrap myself in your arms, only because you said, somehow from this
we can both be happy.

I do not understand, I will never understand.

I only said that if you were unhappy, I wouldn’t make you stay.

You must let go of that which you love, for keeping it and loving it will not make it love you in return.

I suppose sacrifices such as these are humbling.

They hurt, but remind me I am still human.
