What did I do wrong?
I gave you what I had
What I felt like giving
Somehow it wasn’t enough
          —————   Yet also too much

To be honest, I had written you off
Before we had even met
Because how could someone like you
Ever fall for someone like me?

I did not plan to fall
                      Told myself, “take it slow”
But looking into you eyes,
                        I slipped so easily
You felt like coming home
                       And I let my guards down
Hoping and dreaming:
                        this might be it
It wasn’t!

I gave you what I had
   ———— My time
    ————my love
        ———my compassion
It wasn’t much, but it was mine to give
Somehow it was too much
Because you wanted less

How do I give less than how I feel?
                    I do not know!
I give all I have, and it’s too much…
…….. yet it’s never enough
                                         to make them stay
