Risk of Running Out of Love
It's crazy how you can know when a person's purpose in your life has been completed,
It's been a year since I met you,
Yes you, the one who inspired me to take a few steps back and actually change.
I owe so much to you,
And I don't know if I will ever get to thank you,
But I hope I do,
It's more evident to me now than it was then,
That changing was more for me than it was for you,
The feelings I thought I had for you were what inspired me to be more, and now that I am more I don't even want to look at you,
I don't mean this to offend you,
I just mean that now that I have accepted myself,
And now that I know just how much I am worth,
I don't think I want to be involved with another of your kind,
I want to be mine, and only mine
I want to develop myself and I want to get well,
I don't want to have to depend on anybody to balance my mental health,
And yes I know I had said that I would lend you my love,
But I can't because I need all my love,
I'll searching for who I want to become and I can't run the risk of running out of love.
I'll kiss you on the cheek as a "thank you" if I see you again though because you play a major role in who I'm about to become.
