We went too far too fast, and
yet
I don't want this to end.
How do I step back from love
And keep you as a friend?
How do I feel affection
and
Refrain from undue touch?
How do I tell you how I feel
And still not say too much?
I know I led you to
expect
Far more than I should give
Before I have the strength to know
Just how I want to live.
The fault is mine, all mine,
and so
I now must ask of you
Forgiveness, and the simple space
To do what I must do.
Please don't draw away
from me
In anger or in pain,
For in our mutual respect
We both have much to gain.
