That particular time

my foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal
was to vanish
my departures were old I stood in the room shaking in
my boots
at that particular time love had challenged me to
stay
at that particular moment I knew not run away again
that particular month I was ready to investigate with
you
at that particular time
we thought a break would be good for four months we
sat and vacillated
we thought a small time apart would clear up the
doubts that were abounding
at that particular time love encouraged me to wait
at that particular moment it helped me to be patient
that particular month we needed time to marinate in
what "us" meant
at that particular time
I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for
yourself
and yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
and I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
and in the meantime I lost myself
in the meantime I lost myself
I'm sorry I lost myself....i am
you knew you needed more time time spent alone with no
distraction
you felt you needed to fly solo and high to define
what you wanted
at that particular love encouraged me to leave
at that particular moment I knew staying with you
meant deserting me
that particular month was harder than you'd believe
but I still left
at that particular time
