&quot;I walked away,<br /> not because I wanted to leave,<br /> but because I wanted to see if you would try to catch me.<br /> And when you didn&#039;t,<br /> I had the strongest urge to turn around and come back...again.<br /> But I didn&#039;t. <br /> I just kept on walking.&quot;

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words will always hurt me.
The look in my eyes
the pain in my voice
and you keep talking
you call your self a friend
but youre not
I cried, something i never do...
You smiled like it was a good thing,
but it wasnt...
sticks and stones may brek my bones, but your words will always hurt me.
