how do i love you when you wont let me?

can i love you?
can i love who you are right now
and still love the person you will be tomorrow
you are a true test of patience
you are a true test of old adages
i tried to keep you
i really did
but now i guess
i really have to let you go
and watch your steps from far behind
i want to tell you
which slants are loose
and which are missing
(so that you never fall
and this may sound selfish
but i cant)
i want you to fall
i want you to fall so that i can be the one to catch you
so that maybe you can see that you can trust me again
so you can see that everything ive given you is everything i have
the only thing left
is the tears i shed whenever i hear your name
and as they fall from my eyes they land on my heart
which dances perilously on the edge of your soul
waiting for you to fall so that it can break
but i love you
i love you more than ive ever loved before
you made me better
you made me try
you made me want to be something no one else ever has
an honest woman
an honest woman
i love you
and this
will never stop
