i wanted to love you
with everything i ever am,
but i can't give everything i ever have,
to someone i can't quite understand,
because what if i give you a cozy cottage,
hidden amongst thousands of trees,
but what you want is a modern home,
because you want to feel truly free?
i can't give you the whole piece
if you demand it to be apart,
like how i can give you myself fully,
but you'd still point at my missing parts,
even if i wanted to give you,
whatever remains of what i'll be,
if i'm never who you want,
then i'll be whatever remains of me.
