P. 38
take me as I am
take me as I am,
make of me what you can,
don't demand what I can't give you.
know that while I’m with you
I am all yours, but then again,
don't make plans. I have no future.
this keeps us alive.
if I surrender independence,
if I give in to compromise,
I will lose my sight of living,
grow weaker in your eyes.
this is not about me,
I am trying not to lie.
it's about the fearlessness
it takes to be your lover.
the ruthlessness to make you cry.
the tenderness to tell you I need you.
the courage to say goodbye.
