You used to wonder
if you had all of me
and tho I said you did
I held back, you see.
Always felt the need
to hide a part on the shelf
just in case, whatever
to save a bit of myself.
These years seemed
to just fly by so fast.
You were my beginning
and apparently my last.
I present to you
that part no longer hid.
You promised unrelentling love;
here I am because you did.
