You've loved me as a man,
Made me all I ever wished I should
And you gave me all you can;
As a woman could, should and would.

But I've loved you as a boy,
I've been more selfish than selfless;
I've sought only my own joy,
Without noticing your helplessness.

Until this moment in time,
It dawned on me I don't deserve you.
Before me lay my every crime,
And until now I have no single clue.

It's time to set you free for the best;
You deserve a man better than the rest.
