I love you

And I'm sorry

But I can promise that if I see you without me, but happy

I will never shed a tear for myself, not a sliver of sad

because I promise I'll understand

I know I could never provide you with what you deserve

I could never wipe your tears and preserve a smile

Or put you first, and made my problems something for me to endure

Or smiled with you when the world was in your favor

Or laugh with you at odd things you do

Or tell you I love you,

 and you deserve someone who says it day by day

I hope that 'you're a work of art' is the only thing you hear people say

So when I see you smiling in the distance

I will not get sad for not having you beside me

But I will smile for you, for you've learned to smile without me

And I'm sorry for being so consumed in my affairs

I hardly even realized you were standing right there

That's why I'll never get crumble

When I see you in the distance

With someone who provides you in place of my every "I can't"
