take me for all that i am

this is me we're talking about
remember when i didn't know what i wanted?
i think it's different now
i know what i want
and i know what i need

this is for every hour we have ever spent together
every kiss, each embrace, and every tear shed for one another
for every memory we have created
and for just being together
for the times that we managed to work through our anger
for all the times that i distressed you, and you were patient
for all the little things that you have done
that have added up to be so great

thank you for being you
but this is me we're talking about
and i'm still here
but i can't be yours.
