Sometimes we would talk between the silence,
but please don't believe that we stayed in touch,
we couldn't have been further away,
I think we just feared our story
if we didn't at least try
to salvage something of what we had.
It hurts that I haven't seen you for so long,
and that I closed my heart
to the person who saved it from extinction,
but I knew I had to do it
to stop myself from sinking
to a depth I knew I would not survive.
I hope one day I get to smile,
the way you made me smile,
but if I could erase one person from my past,
I think I would choose you.
