It is odd how much can change in so little time

How in one instant one can cross the line

My only fear is that of losing you,

A fear that caused me to leave words unspoken,

To become selfish and think only of myself

When I should’ve been thinking about you.

I am stronger than I look,

But losing someone so dear to me…

That scares me more than anything.

To have any friend so close,

To have anyone understand like you do,

Is rare and too good to be true.

I am sorry if I hurt you,

If I frightened you,

If I pressured you,

If I did something to cause you to want to leave.

But I am asking you to believe in me,

To believe that if I sensed trouble I would tell you.

I am asking you to stop and considered the precious thing we are losing.

Something that we worked so hard to rebuild,

Something that shouldn’t be thrown away.

We’ve come too far from what once was.
