i love you.
with every last piece of me.
i am sorry.
for ever letting you love me.
i always knew you would only be a temporary home.
you always knew you would leave me alone.
but this was worth it.
everything that i placed into you.
giving so much of myself for deeds i knew you would never do.
i never regret you being the smile in my eyes.
nor hold against you how quick you were to compromise.
you knew from the start that you would leave me in the end.
