Sympathy is not the problem.
No, I never doubted that you cared deeply for me
Maybe too deeply.
I never doubted that you wanted the best for me,
Or that you wanted to see me happy,
Or even that you loved me.
Sympathy is not the problem.
The problem is that love is not always enough.
You see, I've gone somewhere you can't follow.
I know it's not that you don't want to follow,
It's that you can't.
I wish you could understand that.
I am different now. I am not the same person I was.
I am not the same person you loved.
I'm sorry for that.
And I wish I could change that.
God, how I wish more than anything I could change that.
But I can't.
And you can't change me either.
So I wish you would stop trying to.
I wish you would understand that you can't just
Snap your fingers to make everything right.
It's impossible.
I've gone some place you can't follow.
I wish you would stop trying so damn hard.
