something so simple, br if it really were, br we'd not be mentioning it now. br br I think in the time it takes you br to voice reason, br I will have quit loving you. br br I cannot help but feel somewhat guilty, br this final good-bye was br supposed to mean something. br and I tried, br I denied you nothing, br opened myself for your pleasure, br and yet the burden now falls on your shoulders, br because you say I'm leaving, br and I know, br I've already been gone. br br there's so many betrayals- br we make room for pity-sake, br we like to suffer, br we like to anger. br and yet it is misfortunate that br now you realize you've loved me br for all this time, br and I think of br how ready I am to walk away- br then I wonder if in the time it takes me to br leave behind the spare key, br if you'll notice that I've never stayed.
