Potential. Love.

I did not fail to feel the abeyant love you were capable of giving me
I did not fail to be your superstar
I did not fail to be confident in your obligation
I did not fail in my expression of veneration
I did not fail to nourish you; did you not feel like the only man on earth...

I failed when I knew you could not conform to my mental and emotional coequally
I failed in the reservation of you loving me with full reciprocity
I failed to let go the moment you revealed to me that you were not ready
I failed the truth and made excuses for your lack and ability
I failed to protect my mind, my heart, my soul...

I realize my worth
I realize my love
I realize my strength
I realize my uniqueness
I realize I must never, ever give myself away again to Potential. Love.
