I won't sacrifice myself,

just because I love you.

I am my own person with my own feelings

and because I love you, understand that.

I am me and you are you, 

though together we are we.

I will not let you have your way all the time, 

because I love you. 

I refuse to leave you alone in your weakest moments, 

because I love you.

Because I love you, old friend,

I'm willing to let you go.
