Surrendering Love

by Liz   Oct 12, 2005


I thought that we had a good thing,
But I guess my need for a definition drove you away.
I thought that we were both
going to be honest with each other.
But you took the "easy" way out.
I never thought that I was pushing you into a relationship.
Sure, I wanted to be with you,
But I refuse to beg of force someone to be with me,
When their heart is not in it.
I think that you had this picture in your head
Of what commitment would be for you.
I'm sorry that your picture of our
"future" was so horrible that
You threw the possibility of us away
Or maybe your picture was that good
And you were afraid of falling in love with me
And having to leave me to go after another dream.
I'm proud of you,
I never would have asked you
to give up on your dream for me.
But you could have had both dreams,
Even if only for a while.
I've never been the type of person
Who didn't start a good thing
Because I was afraid it might end.
I guess that that is the difference between you and I.
I never feel like I've failed if I am passionate and if I've tried.
Why do people always think they have to trade in one dream for another?
