The reason

The reason for my leaving is not your fault
I can promise you that your actions had nothing NOTHING to do with it
It was my choice

The reason for me going on for so many years was you
But I am a burden on your life and I can not watch myself hurt you more
It was my choice

The reason I cut my hair was because I knew you liked it long
You thought it was cute when I hid behind my bangs when I blushed or got embarrassed
It was my choice

The reason, maybe, you helped me is because it made you feel good about yourself
I hope you feel good about yourself, you deserve it
It was my choice

And the only fucking reason I'm leaving you
Is because I found something, someone better
You could never commit
It's my choice
And I wish I could say I'm sorry
But I'm the farthest thing from sorry
But if it makes you feel better, what we had was good until it wasn't.
