A year has gone by
And he sees the pain in her eyes
He sees the toll love has taken on her
And he wants to cry
She smiles warmly at him
And it tears at his heart
She's been hurt so many times
And yet he still hurts her
They walk together
He's screaming on the inside
While she silently cries
She reaches for his hand
And all the pain he's ever caused
Hits him like a train
As her fingers intertwine with his
He never knew she would love him so much
She never knew that he would leave her again
He stops her then
"Why do you always come back?
After everything I've done to you,
Why do you still stay?"
She smiles again
And he sees her heartache beat down on her
But she swallows the pain down
She was always so strong
"Because I love you.
And I always will."
He starts to cry
And she reaches for him
With confusion in her eyes
He pulls away and whispers something
He hands her a piece of paper
And he runs
Runs away from her
And what he's done
She cries out for him
And he does everything he can to not turn around
She replays his last words in her head
Trying to understand their meaning
He had said "It was never your fault."
With tears falling she read the note
"You don't seem to realize
The things I've done to you.
Now I'm all alone
And I will always cherish
The things you gave me."
She crushes the note to her heart
Realizing that she would never see him again
And she knows he's leaving her for good this time
She walks home
Trying to see through blurry eyes
As he walks the opposite way
Knowing she'll remain with no way to end this pain
He left her
Because he didn't know what else to do
He didn't want to hurt her again
And break her spirit even more
Thousands of thoughts in seconds
His last thoughts were of her
As he reached his destination
And jumped...
