A/N: This story is written from Sydney's perspective.
When it's over
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
It’s been almost a year and I haven’t heard from you since the day you closed the door on us, Michael. I remember the sorrow but I’m sure you have healed by now. I don’t know where you are, what you are thinking or doing but I miss you and I hate myself for it each and every day.
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head
I see now what a fool I’ve been and I am ashamed for all the guilt I placed on your shoulders simply out my own selfishness. I heard what you spoke but I never truly listened to what you said.
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Little by little everything we once loved crumbled before our eyes. We couldn’t save the happier days and maybe we were not supposed to but it is still unfortunate.
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
I finally realised what we shared was something special the day the reality of you never coming back sunk in but by then it was too late to start over.
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
You saved me from myself and gave me hope for a better life. You brought light to the darkness within me and for that I am forever grateful.
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
When I close my eyes I can almost feel you near and though I threw away the gifts you gave me your presence still lingers within everything I own.
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
You are free now so I hope you can fulfil all of your crazy dreams without me there slowing you down with my need to feel safe besides being loved.
More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
And though at times your absence still saddens me I have forgiven both you and myself for the mess we made. My wounds are almost healed and I hope you’ll find everything you’ve been looking for just as I have found myself even though it meant losing you.
