                                                  I can't let go.
                              If I love someone, I can't let them go.
                              Even if they hate me, and even if I'm angry with them, I can't let go.

If I'm in a relationship, and we broke up, I can't just hate your guts. I can't just burn your things. I can't just burn our things. I can't just throw away the past. I can't let go.

The memories we shared, I can't let go. 

The conversations we had, I can't let go.

The hoodies we traded and things we gave each other, I can't let go.

The words you said, the words you wrote, the words we shared, I can't let go.

The love we shared, the care we shared, the emotions we shared, I can't let go.

Hate me, destroy me, stop loving me, I still can't let go.

But.

If you leave me. If we stop talking. I'll bury my past emotions. I'll bury my past. I'll turn my pain into anger, I'll turn my pain into hate. 

I'll block you out. I'll turn that part of me numb. I'll hate you.

But if you come back? Everything will come crashing down, because...the truth is, I never let you go.

I never wanted to hate you. I never wanted to feel angry at you. But you decided to hurt me. You decided to leave me.
