We went too far too fast, and yet I don't want this to end. How do I step back from love And keep you as a friend? How do I feel affection and Refrain from undue touch? How do I tell you how I feel And still not say too much? I know I led you to expect Far more than I should give Before I have the strength to know Just how I want to live. The fault is mine, all mine, and so I now must ask of you Forgiveness, and the simple space To do what I must do. Please don't draw away from me In anger or in pain, For in our mutual respect We both have much to gain.
