Step Back
You already knew what you were getting yourself into,
You crossed boundary lines you knew had nothing to do with you,
You knew you would get hurt if you stepped over that line,
You knew what state her heart was in the entire time,
So let me ask you the question,,,why?
Were you honestly thinking about her state of mind?
Walking into a mess couldn't you see?
Was it all about loving her, or more about your needs?
Unselfish love stands back while healings in progress,
It doesn't force itself on the other while cleaning the mess,
Step back, take a look before you dive in,
Be a friend, and true love will always step in.
