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. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or
