soon

I'm going to break up with you.
This I know is true.
Maybe not now, but yes my dear- soon.

I didn't lie when my lips said "I love you"
I swear it on my soul.
Habit is hard to break, and after a year of saying
"I love you" ...
how could I not?

The flame is gone. No smoldering embers, not hot coals to rekindle.
It's done.
I gave it a shot, to see if I was being paranoid.
I found out a great deal.

I still care about you, which is why i didn't lie with my love.
I realized that I was avoiding your calls
and making up excuses to avoid your visits.
I found myself inviting other friends over to share our time.

I know now that it should end, before I hurt you more.
I just... don't know how.

please, forgive me.
