You could have never let me go.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like she will never let me go.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, you didn\u2019t—-say a thing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You just turned, and left the ring.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She is everything I wanted you to be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, I am without you,—- for eternity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
