Because you loved me


Because you loved me,

I grew lonely.

I pushed friends away.

I lost their respect,

their loyalty,

and their trust. 

 

Because you loved me,

family became distant.

I shut myself away-

away from those around me.

It was all for you

because "you loved me".

 

Because i love you,

I set you free.

No.. I set us-

I set myself free.

Free from this

one way path. 

One way path to regret.
