I was willing

I granted you a glimpse into my reality, I let you peer beyond the vale that hides the softer parts that dwell inside me
I exposed my positivity to you, I offered to bear your burdens along with mine as a good friend would and a lover should....

IN RETURN:

You shielded me from your depth in the hope to spare me be overwhelmed with your baggage as well as mine. Though the sentiment was valiant, it has left me with hurt feelings and unanswered questions.
You ushered yourself to a place of silence, numb to even my platonic affections let alone my attempts to make you more comfortable with the idea of exploring romance.

IN THE END:

I still love you and that may never change, but I love myself more so I can't sit around waiting for someone who can't or is not willing to try.
