I was so eager
To love and be loved
That I told you
That your
reticence
Was no problem
I loved you so
And had enough love
For the both of us
I gripped the edges of the letter jacket
you would not share
And held onto every scrap of attention
Sent my way
I loved you so
And had enough love
More than enough
For the both of us
Your frequent absences were
Incidental and quickly forgotten
Reassured by haphazard reunions
I loved you so
And had enough love
Just enough
For the both of us
In the end
When I saw you with someone you loved
I knew I had been wrong
I loved you so completely
had loved enough for both of us
While you
had never loved at all
