You Promised

I never felt alone because I couldn't get away from you.
I didn't regret my choices because you made me think it through.
I knew I looked fine because you weren't ashamed to stare.
So why is it that when I step back, you suddenly aren't there?

Though it drove me to my knees, I gave you everything you asked.
I gave up control and let you in. I didn't hold myself back.
I stopped running and instead I let you lift me up.
And now you're away, so please tell me, was this not enough?

What else do you want?
Why do I have to ask?
Did I keep something from you I had no right to hold back?
Are you just feeling tired?
I'm giving you your space.
I never thought I'd have to wonder if you want me this way.
