I loved you so completely,
I should have expected defeat.
I tried to behave so sweetly,
My anger had me beat.

I want to take it back now,
I only wish I could.
I guess there is no use now,
You left me, like you should.

I only wish to touch you,
To tell you how I feel.
I also wish to love you,
And prove our confrontation was real.

I need to know you care still,
I doubt it every day.
The relationships that I kill,
Turn ripe, red love to gray.

If you say no,
Say it softly.
Rejection kills my ears.
God knows I've been here,
I've done this before;
Realized these fears.

I loved him,
I loved him,
I loved him . . .
