The Break Up

I wish you could watch me from the outside looking in. 

I wish we could remain lovers, 

But start as strangers again.

Because you've lost your politeness. 

You barely even listen to me when I speak. 

You wanna have it your way.

But it's my way or the highway.

In the middle is where I've always wished to meet. 

But, I love you so much that it drives me off a cliff. 

I'm holding on for dear life, 

To you, through whom I live. 

I can't let you go.

I can't go on without you.

But, I need to know...

Would you still love me if I did?

I can't live without you, 

I'll throw myself off the cliff.

You're the only one I love, 

But you're getting harder to kiss. 

I'll never let you go, 

But, I need to know...

Would you still trust me if I did?

Would you still love me if I broke up with you?

Would you still trust me if I did the one thing I said I'd never do?

Would you still view me as the woman you adore?

Would you still love me if I said I couldn't do this anymore?

If I said, 

I still love you, but I don't love you anymore.

always seems to be the best at the beginning of a relationship...acceptance for who we are, loved for that, appreciated, not taken for granted....and then it starts...the little things, the trying to change each other.
so sad that that happens...
