It takes a lot to... be the better person. To... take the next right step. To forgive. To be okay without ever knowing the answers. To move on from betrayal. And if I could truly do that, imagine the freedom I would feel. But then... there is the darker side of me. Did you ever stop to think... I am the shadow that falls behind you. I am in every step you take. I am in every breath you draw. In every thud of that cold heart of yours. I lie dormant in the darkened corners of your mind, where no one else will ever see. I live in your memories— those moments I know you were touched, those moments you claimed what you said was yours. I know I still live within you, somewhere deep inside, where no one else will ever reach. The part of you they will never know. The part of you that loved me. ...and... the part of me that lives within you. You can never forget me, just as I can never forget... you.
