I'm ashamed to admit that if you showed up on my doorstep one day begging for my forgiveness, I would take you back in a heartbeat. I guess that's what is wrong with me--even though you've hurt me more than you could ever imagine, I still love you and I always will.
I like to pretend that I need no one, that I'm fine on my own, and I suppose in that way we are both the same. Our stubbornness in refusing to admit that we need help was the very thing that tore us apart in the first place.
I spend so much time wondering what I did in my past life that was so bad for me to deserve this. My heart bled song lyrics and pretty words for you, damn it! My soul is stitched to yours so if you go down, honey, then I go with you.
So if I can't let go of you, and you can't let go of me, then why are we trying with all our might to swim to opposite sides of the shore? We will end up drowning each other with all of this madness.
I could write a thousand pages and still not get my point across to you. I could climb mountains and still not reach you. The truth is staring you in the face and you still don't see it.
And the truth is that I would do anything for you, even to the point of death.
