It feels like I gave you my virginity.
When I told you how I felt about you
Though I knew it wasn't time.
I knew I wasn't ready.
It feels like standing naked on national television.
When I showed you one of the many poems I'd written for you.
Though I made it clear with myself
That I would never let you see that side of me.
It feels like a yearning to hide.
When you said the words were emotional and beautiful
Though the words I'd chosen to show you
Were the mildest I had.
It feels like being lost in the wrong city.
When you're as gentle as possible in telling me you don't feel the same.
Though It's completely broken me,
You tell me you're here for me when I need you.
But i just need to go away for a while.
