Stop, Please, Wait
Did I do something wrong?
It feels like we don’t talk.
Everything’s changing...
and I don’t want it to.
Stop.
I miss your voice—
the way it spoke to me.
Everything is leaving.
No words said.
Not even goodbye.
You walk away
and I start to cry.
Come back to me.
I’m not good enough…
never was.
This life—
this love—
it’s not us.
You’re perfect.
Someone special.
And I was too late—
too late to show my feelings,
too busy hiding pain.
But I’ll give you the best of me,
if that’s what it takes.
I’ll give you the worst,
if it means you’ll stay.
Please.
Just love me.
Don’t let me fall.
Take me as I am.
Wait.
I’m taking my time...
I’m scared.
Because losing you
means losing myself.
