I Never Meant

I never meant to make conversation Each and every time I saw you I never meant to laugh a little too loudly At your jokes, even when they weren’t so funny I never meant to find a way To be in your presence every chance I could I never meant for you to kiss me The way you did, the way I did back I never meant for us to be alone Saying, touching, feeling, doing I never meant to fall in love With everything I’ve ever wanted I never meant to feel so alive Becoming all you saw in me I never meant to show you parts Of yourself you never knew existed I never meant to show you my weakness And fall apart time and time again I never meant to jeopardize everything By becoming less of who you saw I could be I never meant to take your heart Hold it in my hand, feeling the life pour out of it I never meant discard it As I walked away with no explanation I never meant to feel so helpless Weakness becoming all I knew I never meant to be less than you expected But I never meant to Say Goodbye
