"Walking away was never something I learned how to do, but you'd never expect that from someone whose always gotten walked out on. And you have to believe me when I say I'm trying, but how are you supposed to forget the only person who ever made you feel like... A person? And even when you're gone, it doesn't feel like you're gone. So maybe that's the reason I'm still losing myself to someone who isn't even accepting the pieces anymore. And I'm still looking to you for all the answers even though you seem to be the one creating all the questions. And I'd shatter every clock I can find, if it would stop time from moving on without you. And even though we're a thousand broken promises away from where we should be, I can promise you there will be no abandoning ship this time... And I almost hate to admit that this isn't an act of determination, but better explained as a paralyzing fear. And I'm sorry that "goodbye" is starting to sound more like "I can't, I can't, I can't... " . The only place I was ever taught about letting go was in an overcrowded hospital room, so you'll have to forgive me for not being properly educated on the subject. I'm sorry, but I just can't get past this... "
