Time ticks.
Memories fade.
There's nothing I wouldn't do to stay.
I just hope you know it wasn't supposed to be this way.
Sorry you had to see me that way once.
But I promise it's not going to end this way.
Not without me fighting for your heart.
Thanks to you I can see every thing through.
But not any more since you had to go and lose all hope you had of life.
I was there when you knew you had to fight.
So this is my last goodbye before you die.

I was listening to 'The Kill' by 30 Seconds to Mars while I was writing this. My friend I wrote this for is also suicidal so this is what I felt like when I found out.
