Too Much Too Soon, Too Little Too Late
By Megan Kelley


I want to hug you and say I’m sorry

but I can’t for a few more days

I’ll be waiting for you

I’ll always wait for you

no matter how far away you go

but will you always come back to me?

maybe the air will fill the space

where I used to hold you

no more body heat, only the air

that won’t catch me when I fall.

be careful with my heart

(but what difference does that make?)

I gave myself away to you

too much too soon

I can’t fix my mistake

you are the only one that can work around it

but you don’t have to

if you don’t want to

my only request of you is to accept my mistake

and accept that I gave myself to you

too much too soon

you kept yourself for yourself

the smart thing to do

but smart is not passionate

science and statistics and logic

are Greek to my heart

will you learn my language?

(that’s my only request)

you make things easy and simple

but easy and simple are not love

my arms are always there waiting

to catch you when you

(if you) make my same mistake

and give yourself to me

but for now, I question

if you love me at all.

love can’t be something kept in the dark

we’re more than friends

(why can’t it appear that way?)

if you stay here with me

just to make me happy

I’m not happy.

you need to be happy

but I want you to be mine

be careful with me

because I’m afraid that you love me

too little

too late
