But I Will
*Faith Hill*

Remember when I said the next time would be the last time?
That time came this mornin' when you came in
You always had a line to change my mind
So I guess you thought I'd just let you break my heart again
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I had been going out with Jc for over two years. In the beginning it was wonderful, but then over the past year and a half thinngs slowly went down hill. We were constantly fighting. I had decided to talk to Jc as soon as he got home.

"Hey honey," Jc said giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Can we talk baby?" I asked.

"Yes babe about what?" he asked.

"Us. Babe lately it feels as if Loving you isn't enough for you and that it will never be," I said fighting back the tears.

"But sweetie you are my world, the stars in my sky. Teri I love you," he said.

Chorus:
I don't want to stop lovin' you...but I will
I don't like wakin' up alone...but I will
You're the only one who can make my heart stand still
I don't want to let you go...but I will
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Jc you say it all the time, but do you mean it?"

"How can you ask that?"

"I hate this Jc as much, if not more than you do. I gave you two years of my life, but this isn't enough anymore," I said fighting the tears back again. "I can't do this anymore."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I could write a book on the innocent looks you're giving me
You've got one for every story you tell
I've seen it all and I'm not gonna fall
For those make believe tears
So, darlin' I will try to make it clear
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jc looked at me with so much hurt in his eyes and love, but I can't do it anymore. He's been my world, but I haven't been his.

"What can't you do anymore?" he asked with no clue in his eyes what I meant.

"I can't go on loving you when I get put last in your world. You are first in mine and I'm tired of it Jc. I love you, but I will stop if it makes me happier."

"Are you saying we should break up?" he asked. I could see the hurt and it was breaking my heart even more.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I don't want to stop lovin' you...but I will
I don't like wakin' up alone...but I will
You're the only one who can make my heart stand still
I don't want to let you go...but I will
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Yes Jc. I love you and in my heart you will always be there, but it is past time to say goodbye."

"I love you Teri always. I'm so sad to see you go, but if it makes you happy go," he said with tears coming from his eyes. I walked up to him gave him a hug and kissed him softly on the cheek. "Bye," he said as I picked my bag up. I walked to the door, turned around I then let the tears go.

"I love you, Bye," My heart stood still as I watched him watch me leave his life for the last time. I walked out the door and that was the last time Jc and I saw each other.
