There

was always just one way to you and as I drove away from it that day I knew it would hurt and the amount of time it would take to get away would be so long.

Days and nights I thought of that road and how much I should just go back and be on that road on my way to you.

But, then the truth of that gray sky day comes back to me and I realize that you said those words without me pushing you to them.

You were the one who told me I was bother out there and staying on this road would do nothing for me and in the end I would resent you.

But, the truth was I resent you for sending me away not from saying staying would be a mistake.

For all I needed was for you to believe we could make it and maybe we would have but regret and resentment wouldn’t have been apart of her past or present or future that is to come.
