What should I do
To prepare myself
For when she comes back
And I’m put on the shelf?

I thought I could do it
But I’m no longer sure
That I can step back
That I can endure

Do I distance myself
Begin my retreat
Bow out as I promised
Give in to defeat?

I feel such a fraud
I invested too much
I sadly underestimated
The pull of your touch

Will you forgive me
When I start pulling away
Creating a distance
When I so want to stay?

I’ve grown so much
Learned so many things
Gained trust in myself
You’ve given me wings

Should I stand by my word,
Set my feelings aside
Untie my heartstrings
Or confess that I lied?

Powerfully written from the heart. Your longing is conveyed well.  If he is non-fictional, I hope he knows what is in your heart.  I think he probably does.

"Learned so many things
Gained trust in myself"

Gaining trust in one's self is a by-product of learning one's lessons in life.

Yes, trust yourself to make the right decision.

Go with what your heart tells you to do. It will tell you the truth.
