Simper Fidelious

You told me...that if I wanted to be a Marine,
then I should live by their saying, "Simper Fidelious".
You say that I should be faithful,
Always faithful is what I am,
Just no to you,
I can't be,
Not the way you talk to me,
The way you have been treating me,

Faithful is the way I was born,
I never meant to hurt you,
I never meant to act like I did,
But you made me so angry,
You made me cry,
and I hate it when I cry,
I hate feeling weak.

I still love you,
but the only way that I can,
the only way that feels right to me.
As my best friend.

I want to see you,
I want to talk to you,
I want us to be friends again,
But I know we both need some time.
Time to heal,
time to see that we were both wrong,
I can wait,
I hope that you can too.

I want you to know,
that I will always be here,
you can't get rid of me,
I will always want to be your friend.
