Understand

 

I am trying so hard to understand
I see your pain. I feel mine.
You need so much more than I can give.
I need so much more too.

I keep hoping, "Some day... some day".
But you can't live on a "someday".
I am afraid. I am afraid "someday",
will come and you will be gone.

I know in my heart, you still care.
I know in my heart, you always will.
I feel a loss of your presence.
You are pulling further and further away.

It's self preservation.
Not self-denial.
It's your only way.
Not a preference.

I'm trying so hard to understand.
