Set Me Free

I've been here for so long, with him. We met my senior year of high school, and became best friends. I had a boyfriend at that time, whom after high school was found mauled by some kind of animal, he moved away soon after without even a goodbye. We had been dating for 3 years... We...me and him, ended up going to the same college, it was supposedly a coincidence. He said it must've been destiny. We hung out all the time and got even closer to each other. Sophomore year things between us got weird when he proposed his love to me, and I did not share his exact feelings. Now I'm too afraid to leave him. He hates that I don't truly love him, but how could I when he abuses me. That’s not what I fear, what I fear  is that he loves me with a passion and I don't know what he would do if I ever left. I have no doubt in my mind that he would hurt someone and maybe even himself, I wouldn't be able to face myself if I caused that. No matter what, he's still my best friend. Somehow I'll save his soul, but first he must set me free.
