Listen close now, darling
I have something I must tell you
Something we both know
Yet unspoken for reasons
That don't need to be mentioned
But all of this is true.
I weep now
You know why
You tell me not to cry
Pretending to understand
Yes, I know you hurt
But your pain is so much different
Than mine.
Imagine the choice
Of picking one thing:
The dream or the present;
The future or the now;
What sings to your blood and soul,
Or what keeps you together
For just long enough.
I'm sorry to hurt you
I've said that before
But I mean it so much
I hate to see you cry
To know that I'm the one
Who hurts you so
But this is my life
My destiny...
Do you understand?
To be whole at all
'Requires this sacrifice from me
This guilt and knowledge
But this is the only way
I must do this
Please don't hate me.
So we stand here
At the parting
The end of all our time together
At least for this part of my life
And you know that I'm sorry
It hurts me so much
You know I love you,
But I choose the Darkness.
