Old Soul's Coming to an End

I'm so sorry.
I've put you through so much pain.
I didn't even know.
Now look at you,
You strive to please me,
But I want to say stop.
It's okay,
Take a break.
You deserve it.
You've given me what you can.

You're only ten.
You're so young.
But you know me so well,
You know what I'm feeling even before I do.
How?

You stop yourself.
You know these tears.
You wrap me up into you,
Let me cry on your shoulder.
You nuzzle me,
Encourage me with your eyes.

You just want to make me as happy as possible.
You did that when you saved me from death row.
Take a break.
You deserve it.
More than I ever will.

I put you through so much pain.
Such pain I could never compare to.
All those times I fell off,
You were telling me you were in pain.

Why was I so foolish!

You're so good to me.
You strive to please me.
You're my soul mate,
Yet I've put so much pain into you.

What can I do?
I can give you all the time in the world to heal,
I can give you as long as you need,
I can whisper softly to you,
I can tell you stories of what has happened,
But in the end,
I'll end up crying.

What have I done!
Look at you!
You're only ten,
So young,
Yet you're so fragile.

I'm offered others,
But none will ever be as good as you.
You are my soul mate,
But please,
Know that you need to stop,
Let yourself breathe,
Stop pleasing me,
Be yourself,
I'll love you till the end of time.

Every time you walk,
Trot,
Canter,
Run,
It's not pleasurable,
It's pain you feel!

Why am I such a fool!
Why was I so blind?
Why can't I let you be free?
Why do you strive to please me?

Applejack,
It's okay.
You've lived a wonderful three and a half years with me.
It may not seem long,
But it's been a lifetime of greatness for me.

As I write this now,
I think of him,
Of how great he is,
Of how great he could be,
Of how great he will be.

But I'm also crying,
I can't bear the thought without him.
It's just a hard journey to imagine.
I know he would encourage me to keep going.
Tell me to keep riding.

I'm offered to ride almost any horse I want.
Any horse I can imagine.
But what point is there?
If there is no love,
No bond,
No greater communication,
Than with my soul mate?

Soul mate : a person with whom one has a strong affinity, shared values and tastes, and often a romantic bond.

My definition is much stronger than that.
Much more real than that.
Something you can't explain with words.
You have to experience it,
To believe it.

Even though I still Applejack,
I fear that his and I's time,
Is slowly coming to an end.
I fear that our career,
Will be ended,
Due to me being a fool...
