"I’m not going to try to convince youto stay. If you want to leave, nothingis holding the door shut..."

“I’m not going to try to convince you

to stay. If you want to leave, nothing

is holding the door shut and nothing

is stopping you from leaving my life forever.


So many think that if you can

let someone go with such ease

and so little remorse that you don’t

really care and that you never did.


But let me tell you this now

before I change the locks:


I really fucking love you and I still

fucking love you. I’m just not going to

be the one who keeps you prisoner

inside the chambers of my heart.

So if you want to go, if you want to

leave me and this life that we took

so much time building, know that I won’t

be the one to try to stop you.


But if you do leave I hope you

remember that I have never been one

for keeping the door open to those

who come and go as they please.”
