What did I do wrong?
I gave you what I had
What I felt like giving
Somehow it wasn’t enough
————— Yet also too much
To be honest, I had written you off
Before we had even met
Because how could someone like you
Ever fall for someone like me?
I did not plan to fall
Told myself, “take it slow”
But looking into you eyes,
I slipped so easily
You felt like coming home
And I let my guards down
Hoping and dreaming:
this might be it
It wasn’t!
I gave you what I had
———— My time
————my love
———my compassion
It wasn’t much, but it was mine to give
Somehow it was too much
Because you wanted less
How do I give less than how I feel?
I do not know!
I give all I have, and it’s too much…
…….. yet it’s never enough
to make them stay
