I can't remember

I can't remember how I did it the last time

How I told myself it would be ok if you didn't call

- and it was.

How I wouldn't mind if you were with someone else

- and I didn't.

But then you came back.

 

And now it isn't only your brilliance I have to forget

but your kindness, too.

A kindness you had never shown

and one that I had prayed to know.

You showed me a person I would be proud to call mine

but one who still needs his space

one who still doesn't want me back

one who is too good for all that.

 

Are you too good for me, now, too?
