I used to lay awake at night, all kinds of thoughts going through my head.
Visions of you and what we could become, while I lay there awake in my bed.
After many nights I finally decided to ask you, to see what you would say.
I never thought that all of our problems would be linked back to that day.
And so we began a new journey, I was uncertain, but by you I was led.
But now the love that I felt for you is fading fast now, and is nearly dead.
But after all I tried to do...I still love you.
There were certain things that were in our way, but I believed they could be overcome.
After a week had passed, it became clear you wouldn't even try to defeat one.
In your faith I once trusted, along with your confidence and might.
Now your faith has fled, by an intense fear to set things right.
And so you told me of your bad past with Mormons, and how his actions were such a sin.
This may come as a surprise to you and your family, but if you look closer you'll see that I'm not him.
But after all that we've been through...I still love you.
Our separate beliefs had an unfortunate way of making our relationship seem implausible.
Yet it was my own beliefs in both God and your love that assured me it wasn't impossible.
I was hoping that you and I would overcome our problems, and that your parents would relate.
After peaceful resolutions from your sweet love, it became open to harsh debate.
And so you decided to end it all, due to your religious commitment that put too much at stake.
Of this desire I will honor and respect, though this promise to you I make:
That even though these things are true...I still love you.
Even though we're now in a lesser state, our friendship still goes strong.
That even though it hurts and at times is hard to bear, it's what I loved about you all along.
When I think of the blessings that come from our friendship, it's enough to brighten my day.
I fervently hope that it's truly everlasting, and that forever it may stay.
And so when life seems to come against you, be not afraid, for your burdens I will bear.
I am your constant friend, and the reason for this is because for you I care.
And all these things I do...For I still love you.
