I'm doing what I have to do to get by and to function but I didn't sign up for this. I don't get to escape and run from my responsibilities. I have the house and the pets and the bills - commitments I entered into with you and the promise of forever.
I want the kind of love that makes you want to fight; makes you do whatever it takes to lay down at night and watch the chest of the person you love slowly move up and down.
I've turned into my mom - trying to fix people that don't want to be fixed. You've turned into your dad - emotionally and mentally unavailable. Your dad died alone. He was dead for days before we found him; dead for days before anyone missed him. He was alone.
I can't help but to feel like you walked out in the middle of the 7th inning just because you were down in runs. Instead of sticking around and making a game plan, instead of realizing you were still capable of turning the game around and coming out with a win... You threw down your glove and walked off the field.
The fact that I can't even explain in your words what the problem is proves we haven't tried everything.. You haven't tried. I deserve someone who is just as willing to swallow their pride and break down their barriers for me as I am for them. I deserve someone that will love me even when it's not easy and someone that will let me love them even when they don't want to be loved.

"If there's love in your heart
I hope you find it
Before you tear yourself apart
If there's love, if there's love
Don't go runnin' away
The past just won't stop following you
Take a little time today
To face what you know in your heart is
true "
(- Mutlu, In Your Heart)
