The scary part is,
I know I will always love you.
Even if we say goodbye,
You are still so much a part of me
That I'd never be able to lose you
Without losing part of myself.

Twenty years from now,
I'll wonder how you are
But I won't be able to ask.
I'll look through the photographs
And I'll wonder if you've ever done the same,
Though you will have let go long ago.
And in my heart, I'll know that.
But my heart doesn't like to cooperate, you see.
After all, it's still holding on to you.

The scary part is,
I'm not sure if I'll be able to let go.
Even if we say goodbye,
You are woven into me
And when you're gone, I might unravel.
And that's terrifying.

But oh, dear heart,
I can't stop loving you,
Even if I know it will break me.
Because even if we say goodbye,
I will always love you.

I omitted a stanza because it was a tad too personal so the flow is slightly off. I apologize for my disappearance but unfortunately school exists.
