The Inevitable Decision

You were want I wanted, what I really thought was perfect for me. I was full of emotion and passion overwhelmed me. I have never been here before, and I made promises I could not keep. Yet I saw the flags I ignored them thinking they were trivial. In reality they were reasons why I was strained. I was told to stay, giving this a chance. After all, there were good qualities still in you. You loved unconditionally, accepted me as I am. I still saw problems, and I thought you were ignoring the obvious. Trying to understand why I was worth it. When I am not. How do I continue down a path I choose not to walk? My choices were not my own, my previous decisions made to appease the masses. Yet it is I who is left feeling discontented. I feel I would be living a lie if I kept walking this path. And it would only devastate you then, instead of now. My decision must be carried out for both of our sakes. More importantly yours than mine. Because I do care that much.
