You...never intended to stay. 
     They kept on making it clear to me,
     kept on making me doubt if
     what we had -- was real. 
     (Like they know a thing.)
     
But still... Was it? I don't know.
     What I do know is that what I felt was real & in the short time I had you -- you never gave me room to second guess what you felt -- about me, about us.

From the very beginning --
I knew that --

You never intended to stay.
     Because you were born free & reckless & the more you're told what must be, the more you wanted to do the opposite 
     & I loved even that part of you
     & I always will.

You never intended to stay 
& I never intended to tie you down.

Because that's what loving is,
& I'll never intend to forget that.
