Loving Me

Hey you. Yeah you.
You know who you are.
I know you know me.
Or rather, us.
The we that we once were no longer is.
But the us that once was is still in my heart.
How could you? Why did you? Wasn't I enough?
...run through my head in a long-winded cuss.
I want to hate you. Wish I could.
But every time I try, I just find myself here. Again...because I love you

I was enough. And so much more. But something, something, kept you away from my door.
A fear that you harbor, kept "we" away.
We never really started, but
If only if only--My new curses begin.
My heart still breaks
Wanting to be by your side
Because I love you
Baby you know it's true
I want it to be just me and you, I really really do
But I love me too
And so my heart breaks with love for us
And instead I build up myself, trust
Because I love me
