i
think
in
a
way
you'd
like
me
to
give
up
on
you
,
in
a
way
you'd
like
this
to
end
because
then
it
would
be
more
romantic
in
a
way
.
you'd
sigh
alas
&
go
on
writing
about
it
as
a
lost
cause
,
star
crossed
,
never
meant
to
be
.
but
really
this
is
the
fight
,
these
are
the
things
people
write
about
-
holding
on
.
like
now
i
have
no
money
in
a
foreign
country
where
even
my
own
embassy
won't
help
me
.
i
mean
i
went
there
today
and
i
think
that's
the
most
patriotic
i've
ever
felt
.
i
cried
when
i
saw
the
flag
because
i
believed
i
was
safe
.
i
felt
at
home
.
so
don't
tell
me
about
letting
go
because
only
part
of
me
runs
away
.
the
rest
of
me
you
all
have
for
eternity
.

Syrope
you
are
the
one
person
in
my
life
right
now
who
could
tie
me
down
,
have
me
in
a
stable
committed
relationship
but
you
aren't
interested
you
don't
want
this
to
be
one
-sided (
you
don't
realize
that
letting
me
just
sit
next
to
you
is
paymet
enough
for
anything
i
have
to
offer
)
i
want
you
to
take
everything
i
have
and
ask
everything
of
me
i
want
to
make
you
feel
like
you
make
me
feel
where
does
that
leave
us
?
