day turn to days and we fade away, into time, into space, and -- i fear, into nothingness. we'll be long forgotten, i'll be long forgotten, so will you.
the pieces we leave in each other will disappear, we'll have nothing to hold on to.
i'm sorry. i couldn't return the affection you felt for me. i couldn't love you back. you cried for me. i cried, not for you, but for him.
life is so pointless, and so. . . nothing.
our friendship, our bond has faded away all because i couldn't be the person you needed me to be, the one that loved you back.
i didn't tell you then, so i'll tell you now. i'm a wanderer. a hurricane. a brewing storm. a raging fire. a sinking ship that's burning. i belong to no city, i belong to no man --- i've never, and from the looks of it, i might never.
--- to the one i couldn't love back.
