I'm a hopeless romantic...it's true
But now you've helped me see the...
truth
...that it's- no- excuse- for
...dragging. you. down. with... me;
Even though; here I am tread/ing/water
Because I know what I've found
&.I.can't.keep.you.
~ you are so right ~
Cha/s/i/n/g you
when-you-have-someone
Makes me someone I/can't/like,...
regardless of how you have nestedinmy
...skin...//that reason can no longer
Fly.
You've got some pieces stored away; that fit so divinely with mine;
< my thumbs on your hips/your hands in my hair/mouths losing time >
...while you've given some away...
&,..I can't have you feeling responsible for
the longing in my head AnD c.h.e.s.t.
...you have enough gravel to/crawl/through
as-it-is.
So, so, and so... I have to care for you...
{ive beensoselfishallthistime}enough...
To let it go...
And I do...
...and isn't that just-the-way
It...
...goes.
