I Gave You My Power

I know you don’t want me to go,

But you haven’t given me a reason to stay.

You saw my post online and reached out to me,

You told me you saw my smile and wanted to let me know that you still loved me.

We spoke until the early morning,

Before sleep took over.

My heart warmed just by talking to you.

I know you don’t want me to go,

But you haven’t given me a reason to stay.

We spoke about us, us like we use to be,

I could sense you opening up,

I tried not to get inside my head.

We talked about having a family together.

I liked that. I truly did.

I know you don’t want me to go,

But you haven’t given me a reason to stay.

We have our individual journeys ahead,

I won’t stop you from yours,

I hope you don’t stop me from mine,

Unless it’s to have our family.

I reclaim my power from you,

As I can no longer stay.

I know you don’t want me to go,

But you haven’t given me a reason to stay.
