You wanted this, right?

You made it clear with those

sad eyes and a smile

I took a step,

you stepped back.

maybe this is where we end

In a space of all almosts.

---

Why are you asking for something that you can't give?

I can only offer.

I can't say yes for you.

---

Saying I miss you a thousand is not enough

I can't understand, I said it. I can't understand.

Your basis is a blur and you ask for something firm

You want things clear.

You never answered,

What more do you want from me?

---

I touched you once but you stepped back

I can remember the face

despise, is it?

I don't have the strength to ask why.

Why did you step away?

My whole body tensed up

I can't move.

and then I saw you crying at someone else's feet,

begging for a touch.

I can't move.

---

I never asked for anything more than what we have

I'm okay with this

A steady pace, we move as we breathe

but you want something more.

Something that consumes all of you

I can never be that

I can't be something I am not

---

I never left

all I did was to reach out

to exhaust all the ways that I could

You look at me like I did nothing

I don't know what more you expect of me

It's as if you want me to break for you

So I did

I didn't know it was a lure to a den

I gave all of it away

willingly

and then, just like that

just when I thought "This is it"

you left.

---

I was waiting for you

I wanted to hear it

A yes.

I can't do anything unless

I stayed beside you

In this cage, you've built

Together you said,

Together then.

- a type of together

---

We both wanted it

whatever the thing that

tugs our hearts

towards each other

Maybe, just maybe

No one was brave enough to ask.

We end even before everything can start
