Peer Into My Broken Heart

Past Lovers

I know I wasn't what you needed, and I apologize for any inconvenience I've inferred.  The constant contemplation of this conceited disposition cloud my eyes, for now I cannot see your truth.  I thought I understood the way you looked at me, touched me, talked to me, but the more I started to understand, the more it pushed me away from you; I don't understand how people can love me in the way you loved me.  I think I do understand, though, how you love her.  She appeases you in a plentiful of ways that I couldn't even imagine; you deserve what I couldn't hold up to, what I didn't hold up to.  I hope she shares your compassion, your drive, and I hope most of all that she understands the love you give her.  I know I wanted your love, but I'm not yours to love anymore.  She is, so you better hold up to that in the ways I never could.  I love you so much, but now I say goodbye to you.
