Any less

I don’t love you any less 

Just because you don’t feel my way

If love was a bargain

I would have left this game


I wouldn’t go chasing after you

No more, this I can no longer do

I will keep you in my memory

As fresh as spring grass grow


I can’t ask any more of you

Any less wouldn’t do too

So, all I can do is walk away 

As far as my legs would take


I can’t stop myself from telling you

All things that happen to me

As life unfolds every day

Why did you ever let me go


You attract me

Force defying Gravity

I never knew - Anything else - This true

Me and you


Yet, I can’t hold you

I can’t kiss those lips

Or hold your hand

Like people in movies do


All I can do is

Distance myself

Pick up those pieces

Rebuild myself

And then you—

Break my resolve


All you do is smile over a telephone line

Between continents on a dying WiFi

I know there couldn’t be another—

Not for a fucking long while.
