Not the words that I’ve spoken,
or the promises I’ve made and broken,

Not the lies that I’ve made up,
or the tricks that I’ve played up,

Not the chances that I’ve let go,
or the joys that I forgo,

Not the sadness I’ve given you,
or the tears that I’ve caused you,

Not the changes in me I’ve brought in,
or the compromises I for sometime drowned in,

Not the dreams I was scared off,
or the desires I was too shy of,

Not the silliness that I’ve borne in you,
or the inconsistency I’ve allowed to thrive in you,

Not the sleep that has often reduced,
or the stress in me that occasionally has improved,

Not my aspirations that I’ve shared with you,
or the hopes in me without you,

I will ask you for nothing, but……

Your time,
I’ve given you more than that’s possibly just mine.
