As the Pendulum Swings

Hope,

As the pendulum swings.

Too and fro.

You've come to know me,

I've come to let you in.

I've gotten to know you,

You're seeing me become.. 

It's all we could ever want,

All we could ever need.

A combustible, out of this world connection.

We've come to love each other,

and have come to a beautiful place.

We have each other,

need one another. 

It's been an incredible journey to here,

With all the ups and those lows.

You've come to see me as,

The man who's stood by your side through everything,

Held your hand,

Had your back,

When you didn't even have it.

The man you've needed,

As the man who's been it all..

Yet, you've come to take me for granted.

To take this, for granted.

I say you're spoiled.

Spoiled in everything we share,

It's your everything,

All the while you're so willing to let it go. 

Do you even know what you're doing?

You live in this story,

A story where you've made up your mind.

Regardless of how amazing it gets,

How many memories shared,

You've made up your mind.

Just because you've seen me, 
Felt me,

Had me,

Known me,

Doesn't mean you've had it all.

It takes actually letting it all in,

Actually seeing it for what it is,

Letting yourself let go,

Jumping 1000% in,

Trusting in me, trusting in you.

You stopped before it got to the best part.

You let go before you even held firm.

There's always been a 3rd party,

Never just us,

And you say we gave it an honest chance?

We've become each others best of friends,

Best friends. 

I want to marry mine,

You want me to stay it,

While you find your forever person...

I didn't sign up for that. 

I can be rest assured that I gave it my all.

Gave you the chances I would've wanted. 

Over time I came to learn this simple truth, 

Giving you those chances,

Isn't what you wanted.

You fought against me, whenever we broke through a wall.

Pushed me away whenever we became closer...

Nothing against you,

You're still you to me. 

It's where you're at,

Right? 

I've learned the hard way what I deserve,

What I demand out of the future.

I never settled with you,

Just with what you were willing to give.

You have it all in you,

All I could ever want,

Yet you chose others, over and over.. 

Space is what's coming.

As space is what you've desired. 

Space without me in your life.

A realm where you can be you,

A realm where I can find anew,

To love someone else,

Let in, someone new. 

It's only the natural progression,

Whenever someone doesn't want to progress...

A part of me hates the prospect, 

As you've been the best part of my day,

The best form of happiness. 

Fulfillment on so many levels.

You've been all I've needed,

And I've been the same.

Yet you've rejected me,

Removed the hope I've always had.

You've chosen your story,

your fantasy over it all.

Someday it'll all come crashing down,

Someday you'll see,

Then it'll be all you,

With where you're at.
