I'M Too Much of a Giver and a Lover

"I'm too much of a giver and a lover" ------------------------------------- It's not about defining the perfectness of me For there is not more to what I can be in which you expect of me But to learn to accept this is all there is to me and where I am in life is perfectly enough for me I am no less nor more than what is need be It's about defining how joyful my heart is For it is filled with love in which I have for you and hope to be satisfying to your fantasy of perfectionist Your imagination of perfection is an illusion You slay me and pressure me for something I could never be I am upon my max limit in endurance of your selfishness But within my heart I love you too much to give you up Because baby I'm too much of a giver and a lover That's defining perfection of love and sharing For love is what makes us happiest of all Nothing more...
