Do I

Do I still love you?
Probably, for what good it does
Because love isn’t all it takes
To make it in this world
And I’m not the only one that does
Love you, I mean
And that’s the part I can’t forget
With so many obstacles in my way
The biggest one is he was first
I could bring so much to the table
But he was seated first
And while I’d be content
Just to see you live your best life
I have to remember I’m not necessarily in it
And that I’m having trouble with
Because I’m pretty sure my own best life
Would need you in it somehow
And I know how this works
To reconcile these two very different paths
Take the one of least resistance
And that means that I walk away
And watch from the outside
Do I love you?
Yes, and that means giving up
When all I want to do is keep fighting
