Backing off.

Backing off~

I need to stop. I need to let you heal. I'm supposed to be there by your side not because I want to hold your hand, but to help you along.

This feeling isn't mutual, I can tell. The way you talk about her lets me know I'm the friend. I understand. I know I'm right. So from now on I'll act the way I'm supposed to. I'll back off...

It was hard for me to do so. So I did the only thing I could think of. I left it at goodbye. And now here I am checking my phone, and email, anything. I'm looking for the sign that you can't stand being apart. Nothing. I backed off and went to far, and now it's really over.
