What I Have For You

The realization that my love is too much for you.

Not because you are not enough.

Believe me, you are.

More than enough.

/

But it is not you.

It is what I have for you.

/

I want to give you everything your heart desires.

I will cross oceans for you. Run through flames for you.

I'll give you the last piece of our favorite meal, just so you can have more.

I'll smile knowing I have given you all of me, even if that means I have none.

/

Believe me, it's not you.

It is what I have for you.

/

This thing. This love.

It's just too much, and I am afraid you will not be able to endure it.

It's like fitting a square peg into a circular hole.

It wouldn't fit. Not today. Not in any lifetime.

/

And it is not your fault. It is just the way you are.

And we cannot do anything about it.

So believe me when I say, it is not you.

It is what I have for you.
