DID I EVER LOVE YOU TOO MUCH?

Is Love Ever Too Much?

Did I ever love you too much?

Or was it all a fleeting touch?

A question lingers in my soul,

As memories haunt and take their toll.

In the depth of night, I lie awake,

Recalling every move I made,

Every word spoken, every caress,

Did my affection become excess?

I poured my heart, a river wide,

Unveiling love from deep inside,

But now I question, filled with doubt,

If my devotion caused you to route.

Did I shower you with too much care,

That you sought freedom in the air?

Were my arms too tight, my grip too strong,

That you yearned for a love more prolonged?

The echoes of your laughter fade,

In dreams, I see the love we made,

But reality now seems so cold,

Leaving me with a story untold.

Perhaps it was my endless devotion,

That led to this emotional erosion,

Blinded by love's consuming fire,

I failed to see your true desire.

But even now, as tears cascade,

I cherish the love we once portrayed,

For though it may have been too intense,

It sprouted from a place so immense.

So, did I ever love you too much?

A question asked with trembling touch,

I'll find solace in memories we share,

And release the burden of this affair.
