I cannot keep anything for myself
I cannot keep you for myself
As you are not mine to begin with
And I have to let you go
Like water streaming through cupped hands
Hoping you find happiness with someone else
Hoping you smile more with her
As I cannot give you what you want
I cannot love you as much as I want to
Because I have responsibilities
And you deserve more than what I can offer
And I can offer nothing but myself
