I don't want to regret this—but I know I will.

I really don't want to hate you—and somehow I doubt I ever will.

I don't want to leave tonight—but I have to.

It's better this way.

It's better for both of us, this way.

Or so I keep telling myself.

Maybe it's selfish, for me to wait until you're sleeping.

Maybe it's cruel, for me to wait until I think you won't notice.

Maybe it's wrong, for me to even think about doing this.

It's not that I want to do this, but I have to do this.

In order for me to live, in order for both of us to function? I need to walk away from you.

And that's almost funny, isn't it?

I had always thought, you would be the one to walk away. To give up without a fight.

Maybe we were just fooling ourselves from the get go.

Maybe we lied when told each other those romantic sentiments.

Maybe we just weren't meant to last this long.

I would tell you that I'm sorry for doing this.

I would tell you that I still love you and that I always will.

I would tell you that I'll miss you and that I hope you'll miss me too.

But that would require me waking you up.

And you look so peaceful right now, so content with the world.

That's how I want to remember you, so I'll walk out.

I'll leave you to your dreams, to your what ifs and could have beens.

I'll leave you to your fantasy while I face reality.

And maybe, just maybe, one day we'll meet again.
