I love you

I Loved You I love you I still do More than words can express. I love you I loved you I left you And for that, I'll forever remain guilty. I loved you I love you I had to leave you For your safety, my dear. I love you I loved you I hurt you And I'll forever punish myself. I watched you From the shadows of silence Praying you'd heal Even if it meant forgetting me. I loved you I love you Enough to disappear When all I wanted was to stay. I love you I always will But some stories Are written in heartbreak, not in endings.
