I Don'T Hate You

Why don't you listen to me? I don't hate you, don't love you... It's something different between you and me. I know you don't see it. Why I stopped it all, you and I are too different. It's not our beliefs, my God, or your darkness, that's not what ultimately made me leave. It was how you treated me. You were holding, stringing, pulling my heart along. I was pushing, pulling, I know you saw it all. I wanted to back away, but you kept grabbing me. Wether you knew it or not, in a wrists snap you threw me away and I fell on my back. I realized then that we would need to stop this friendship. I sacrificed my heart when we were in love, but my heart is mine, and I must keep it safe now. Please listen to me, I wish the best for you, but it's my choice to make the first move, until then please step back and let me be.
