Too Late

I told you I was broken.  

I told you I was scared. 

I told you I was emotional. 

But it was already too late for you.  

You loved me from the moment you met me.

I told you I would hurt you. 

I told you I would run.  

I told you I would leave you.  

But it was already too late for you.  

You loved me from the moment you met me.

I told you to get out.

I told you to leave me. 

I told you to save yourself.  

But it was already too late for you.  

You loved me from the moment you met me.

You looked at me and you saw something no one else has ever seen. 

You told me I was inspiring.  

You told me I was amazing. 

You told me I was beautiful. 

You told me you were lonely.

You told me you were afraid.

You told me you were patient.

You told me you weren't deterred.

You told me you weren't judging me.

You told me you weren't leaving me.  

I told you I was a mess. 

"You're perfect" you whispered. 

I told you I was far from perfect. 

I told you that you were supposed to see all my flaws.

I told you that you were supposed to love me anyway. 

You replied, "I do."

And then it was too late for me too.
