I love you

I love you

Did you think me cruel

When I offered

To stay

And hold you

While you cried?

How could I say that I loved you

And flee

To her

In the same breath

How could I say

I love you

And not stay?

It is for that reason

I must go

In our eyes does that

Reality diverge.

It is because

I love you

That

I

Cannot

Stay


Inspiration / Author Note

We all define love in a different way. And when those realities diverge our connection strains.
