I poured out my heart
Telling you of my love,
My adoration,
My need of you, forever
But you didn't feel the same
You cared not if I left or if I stayed
So I left you yesterday

Now I fight with myself
I want to plead for you to take me back
But my pride won't let me leave this track
Knowing I can't stay if your love I lack
But how I want to go back

Take back those foolish words
And not know if my love was returned
Maybe if I had waited eventually for me you would've yearned.

But I left and now I am inconsolable
Because I have you no longer

perhaps this person returned your love in the only way they were able, or knew how, as it is when our expectations are dissappointed we deem situations to fail, when indeed we set all else up to fail by expectation...?  I dunno...relationships are tough...????

When the desire to stay in a relationship is not shared, it does something to a willing heart...it is a slow process...requiring patience and wisdom....depart when you are sure that you can no longer stay and pretend...James
