Because I love you

It’s because I love you I’m willing to let go

Not because you aren’t the one, rather I’m not yours

Knowing my bounds is must or I’ll never let go

A beauty you are in retrospect but not mine

 

Neglectful am I  and even more so to you

Do not waste time with me for I am like the shores

So unsteady and so different unlike you

A beauty you are but I will just wash your time

 

But I will never forget you and want you back

Do not tell me how dumb I was to close your doors

And I sense my words will never bring you back

A beauty you are and trespassing would be a crime

 

Feelings and thoughts for you are all I will have left

I do still love you but must keep them unexpressed
