I hate how it all went

I hate that it's still sort of going

I feel my love is spent

And I'm left without knowing


What do you think of me?

How are you truly feeling?

Are we ever going to be?

This has sent me reeling


I've discovered I want more

Than I thought I did at first

I want my heart to soar

It's more than just thirst


I'd be lying if I said

That I don't still want you

But this thing is nearly dead

In your silence, it's through


I know it's also because of me

I got too excited

I've never gone so slowly

I don't know what I expected


Like it was destined to end

Haunted by my lack of good experience

But I've been glad to bend

Beyond comfort and into such radiance


I miss how we started

It felt meant to be

But now that we're parted

I can finally see


You, though older, are too young

I've experienced and grown

Your life is barely sung

Never too far from home


I wonder if I scare you sometimes

I wonder if you're hiding things from me

It doesn't matter, you're not mine

Although I wish you'd be


I've chosen to let this go

It's something I have to actively do

These feelings are hard not to show

I have to stop myself from texting you


It's all just dwindling

Lost among random funny clips

Time exhausted like kindling

And though I had wanted to, I never got to taste your lips


You should've kissed me

You should've called

That is, if you truly liked me

I hate this stone wall


You want us both to date around

But you say you still want to date me

I understand why without a sound

About it... truly


Your parents divorced then remarried so quickly

It must be so jarring

To be one thing than another entirely

How your mind must be warring


I know I signed up for this

You basically gave me an out

I guess I got caught on the wish

That maybe you'd clear your doubt


I wish you were here

I wish this was all easier

I hate how quickly I get caught on the mere

Thought of you, and wanting to break this barrier


Please just be honest

Let me know what we are and what you're thinking

Even if it means this truly needs to rest

Either way, I'm going to stop vying


For your attention

Spoken words never flow as easy as written

Take up your pen if you must

Luckily, I love pages that are handwritten


I just want to know

Rather than waiting in the dark

Wondering if it's so...

Even still, this has left its mark


On my life and what I know of myself

I've discovered more than I thought I would

Like how I refuse to be kept on a shelf

Just in case the one you really want says no


I'm worth more than that

I want to be someone's first choice

More than just a fun chat

More than just another voice


So, tell me

Let me go

Or let this be

Only you know

The End
