It makes my stomach churn and my heart drop. It makes goosebumps shake my body.
But there's nothing I can do about it.
I just have to take a deep breath and look away.
She gives you all of the freedom you desire that I couldn't give you.
And in the end that freedom I held from you killed us in return.
So I just have to take a deep breath as I watch you step forward with her.
Whilst my feet stay firmly planted in the dirt.
