i will never leave you

If there's anything I've learned
from the hectic excuse of the 
past year, it's that
friends don't always 
stay friends forever.
Lovers don't always
stay lovers forever.
And family 
might not stay family forever. 
But I promise you this:
even though you are moving to
Colorado-which is
too far away- and we 
probably won't see each other again
for a long time,
I know that
I will never leave you. Because 
I know what it's like
to be abandoned, 
I know emotional pain
all too well. I never
want you to feel that
in the way I did.

I will never leave you.
