Steep

STEEP

Softly, gently, I will let you down
Cause I don't love you in the same way now
I can hold you but not with lover's arms
Cause you are more of a brother to me now
And I can lie next to you, but I can't lie to you

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain
For you the future's easy, so don't weep
For me it's getting steep

I loved you for exactly who you are
And I'd say you've come the nearest yet by far
And I can lie next to you, but I can't lie to you

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain
For you the future's easy, so don't weep
For me it's getting
Steeper and in the dark that's where I want to be
Deeper, I'm going somewhere you won't want to see...

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain
For you the future's easy, so don't weep
Yes, I will watch you
Walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain drops
For you the future's easy, so don't weep
For me it's getting steep


Believe me when I say that it's harder than it looks. I've always thought that I would love you. And I still do...but in a different way. Not the way that you'd want me to. Sad as it may seem, there wasn't an easier way to let you know. Please know that I never meant to hurt you. In the last eighteen months, I have experienced the completeness of your love. I will forever be grateful for that. No one has ever shown me as much as you have and I couldn't ask for anything more from you. You have been an important part of my life and you will always have that special place in my heart. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for the love. I just wish that I could give it back to you again. Thank you for the adventure. I could not and would not have done this with anybody else. I learned a lot about myself while I was with you. Whomever is the next special person in your life, may he come to know you as well as I had and may he appreciate you for the wonder of who you are. May you find the love that you more than deserve. And if ever you need anything, and I mean anything, I hope you'll remember to call me because I'll be right there for you. As you have always been for me. As always, my best wishes for you and your family. Take care of yourself.
