A Love That Will Never Quit

You don't need me you say,
You turned and walked away one day,
You never needed me you say,
And to all of my dismay,
I realized it will never again be that way,

I look on you with watery eyes,
And wonder how many were lies,
How many were there, truths told,
When not a bone in your body is bold,
I don't know what would provoke you,
Don't guilt and remorse cloak you,
For i know that you still have a heart,
But you have truly been set apart,
By making selfishness an art,

If you had pondered what was good for you,
You would've realized i've been good to you,
You would've realized that you want it too,
Maybe then we would've known what to do,
Maybe i could've guided you,
Like i always wanted to,

But it's ok like this too,
Now that i think about it in review,
Although I'll miss your smell and laugh,
It's better to give all, than receive half,
If that's all you could give,
For as long as we live,
Then it's better this way,
And i'll find another again someday,
Better and brighter, and a more perfect fit,
And for a love that will never quit.
