In the midst of loving you,

I forgot about loving me.

Lost myself in all your needs,

forgot who I should be.

In your eyes, my reflection became

a memory of my past.

The person that I used to be

is now only a mask.

Your smile is my happiness,

your joy, my comfort too.

In fact, everything about me now,

is derivative of you.

Sometimes I miss the me I was,

the me that stood alone.

And many days I lament myself

because that me is gone.

My sunshine is your sunshine.

My rain, your cloudy day.

I filter everything I think

and sift through words I say.

Your feelings are my priority,

my thoughts no longer clear.

I’ve given up so much of me

to only have you near.

And in this quest to make us last,

I wonder if you know

that every time I change for you,

This love resists to grow.

A part of me is empty,

Unfulfilled and drained.

If only I could find myself,

And fall in Love again.
