Manifesto

Oddly, my resolve is strengthened.
Ironically, I don't know if that will push you away.

I don't know if you are in the frame of mind right now that ANYTHING I do/say will push you away.
Because maybe you've already decided our fate and this prolonging it is against your will.

If so, then just let me know.
It will hurt, but I don't want to hurt you too.
And I don't want to hold you back if you want to be free.

And maybe, after all, I don't need you to have all the answers.
I just want to be sure you're not doing this out of emotions alone
Because if you do,
We'll both be hurt bad
And we'll both find it really hard to trust anybody again.
(In fact, I'm not sure I can after this.)

But, please...
Don't hurt me just because you don't want to face your demons.
God is with you, and
I never shied away from facing them with you.
