It took all my strength,
to love him.
I tried so hard,
to get love in return.
And when it was over,
all that was left,
was pain and lies.
Powerless to stop it,
and the tears that fell.
I felt so bad,
when I first met you.
All you did,
was love me.
Yet I had no strength left,
from the past,
to build love for you.
I let the past creep over me.
But you didn’t give up on us.
You kept loving me,
and waited for my returning love,
for which I have finally given.
And these leftover feelings,
are now gone.
My strength returning,
my tears,
kept to a minimum,
Because now I can finally say,
I love,
and am loved,
in return.
