I Used to Care

I used to care what you thought
All I thought about was
    Your walk
          Your smile
              Your talk.

I used to cry & cower
when I didn’t see you within the hour
I guess I gave you that power
    Over my Life
          Over my Being.

Now I’m not so sure I’m ready to leave
But what we have can’t continue to be
the definition of
    My Life
          My Love
              My Dreams.

When we started out, we both had goals
but the only ones achieved have been yours
and I can’t stand it anymore.
    Wondering if
          Wondering when
The same opportunities will come again
The ones I passed on to be with you
The ones that could have made my dreams come true.

I used to care what you thought
But not anymore.
