Not Enough

Your love is like a foggy mist
That fades into the night
Or the darkness, that runs away
When it sees the morning light

It's somewhere in the middle
Hidden, between good and bad
I just couldn't tell the difference
For it was all I ever had

You didn't know commitment
It was a word you never used
When I asked for reassurance
You just silently refused

When I told you that I love you
You could only say, "Me too"
When I told you of my problems
You'd say, "Whatever you wanna do"

I've finally learned my lesson
Tho, this decision I've made is tough
If this is truly, what you call love
It's just simply not enough
