And the tears come down unbidden

I don't want you to split ways with us...

I tried to be strong, but I can't...

I'd rather you always treat me as a friend, no chance of anything else, then let you go your own way for that tiny chance.

I wanna be able to talk to you.

I wanna be able to hear you laugh.

I wanna be able to love you, even if you don't return it.

I wanna be able to see you smile.

But I wanna respect your choice too.

But the tears...they're just coming down.

God...please bring him back soon...safely...happy...
