 Whispers of love songs in my ear

Reminds me of you, but it doesn't bring happiness 

The memories that come are bittersweet like sour candy that started off sweet.

Shifting the balance within my heart so my love for me is more than it is for you. Protecting myself even though I know our love is true. 

Sifting the pain away from the happy moments. 

Not running from this pain, but letting it run this course of remorse.

If I didn’t love you I wouldn't run away trying to protect you just as you do me.

Trying to give you the space you need and still fulfill our needs and still stay at this sedate speed. 

Instead I felt drained, pained and cast aside never seen.

 The pain i’m feeling has lasted so long holding it much longerI I’m just not keen on it

Love isn’t enough i can’t live off vibes i need words of affirmation not praise but acknowledged
