i think it's really time that i let you go.
it's childish but i'm going to do this the only way i know.
if i focus on the good, i'll want to hang onto you forever.
so i must put the magnifying glass on the areas that you falter.
my new match will be wiser and taller.
he won't have girl friends that ask him out to dinner.
he'll be a true man of God and my faithful life partner.
he'll always know what to say.
he'll show he loves me everyday.
he'll always make it clear to me that i am for him and he is for me.
we'll be exactly what we need to be.
he'll be someone i can sink into and someone who can lift me up.
he'll take me out when i'm feeling blue.
he'll know me better than i do.

i gave you more assurance than i needed to
i helped you out far more than i needed to
i talked to you for far longer than i needed to
i pined for you for longer than i admit to
i waited for you for longer than i wanted to
i bet you question why i did that for you
i ask myself why i did that too
perhaps it's because i always see myself in you
perhaps i gave you the love i needed too
and someday i'll get it in return, in two-fold, too

one day i won't care this much.
one day it won't hurt this much.
i still wish so badly that you would understand me. that you would know me.
i wish you would check in with me genuinely.
there's so much that has happened to me.
i wish you would show me your love in the ways that i wanted you to.
i wish you told me how perfect i was already.
i wish you never compared me to others.
i wish you would just know me and accept me as i am.
i don't think you'll ever know to what extent you've hurt me.
i just feel like you should know me by now.
know me beyond the foods i like to eat.
i wish you knew my other preferences.
i wish you knew and accepted. but you just can't ever seem to accept me.
i didn't ask to be this way. i am just the way i am.
there are things i wish i could change so you could accept me but i just can't.
i don't know which parts were nature and which were nuture.
all i know is that you have never accepted all of me.
i don't even know how you see me.
must be some weird mixture of ungrateful and detached. you must think i've shut everything off completely just to spite you.
but i am not like that.
i wish you knew me.
i think if you knew me mum, then you would truly love me.
