Trying for Love

When I think about the time I spent Trying to whisk you away, all the things I said and did only got in the way. Obstructing the honesty burying my truth - For I never believed you could love me if you saw my exposed roots. Maybe the core of my strife was not in acting falsely, but in needing your love for me - instead of simply feeling content knowing who I am and how I want to be.
