It's just not you

I am stuck between what we are

What we could be

And what I wish we were

I feel trapped

In this thing I do not have a name for

I would not call it love

It is not even close

Love is patient

Love is kind

And love wants more for someone than it wants for itself

You’ve never been patient with me

Always pointing out my flaws and insisting I fix them

You may be capable of kindness, but you rarely show it

It’s in there somewhere, in the boy I first met

But I do not know where it has gone

You are so confused with your own life and future

That I don’t think you could be at all concerned with mine

And that is exactly what I need

Someone who knows my flaws and works through them with me

Someone with the kindest heart and sweetest soul

Someone who will care for me and my goals as if they were their own

And that is just not you

As much as I wish it was
