…and I
didn’t love you
the way you wanted me to
didn’t love you
right
didn’t love you
as much as you needed me to
didn’t love you
enough
didn’t love you
with all of me
not
unconditionally
But I
did
love you
in every way I was capable of
and
with all of me I had to give
which wasn’t
all
of me
but
enough
which is to say
I love myself
enough
to know when you’re
asking
too much
and you don’t
love yourself
enough
if you’re honest don’t
love yourself
at all
and you do deserve
to be loved
by someone
who
needn’t hurt
to
love you.
