Maybe I was only meant to
mend a part of your past
and not stay for your future
Why do you hesitate
Is it fear or disinterest
You're drawing circles around my clarity.
Maybe you were only meant to
reignite the poetry in me
and leave me in pieces still
Maybe we were only meant to
be all that we are
nothing more.
Maybe it's what I really needed
a lesson on slowing down
on patience
Maybe you were only meant to
bring me sweet moments
hopeful little reminders
Because you've made no move
and I've got no guesses
on what you're feeling
Maybe the truths I'm feeling here
are not the same for you
I can only speak for myself.
