To a friend- after it got over

I still care for you
Though not as strong as before
Perhaps because our relationship
Cannot b the same any more.
But 'tis not fault of yours
It is entirely mine
Chiefly because my feelings
Change with time
I am not constant
Or still as the Pole star
But neither a honey bee
Flitting from flower to flower.
We once were very close
That feeling was so strong
But I cannot always adjust
Or make concessions too long.
You began to control my thoughts
Make all my decisions for me
Oh, my dear why don’t you realize
Above all I want to be free.
I was beginning to stifle
my spirit was tightly bound
How could I be myself, even think?
With all that pressure around?
But I cannot blame you
I just cannot be tied
You approach was wrong
when to get me you tried.
I am not an object
That can be lost or won
I am a living being
A live human person.
The way I still love you
Is unlike the way I cared
For others, in no other way
Have I so much with another shared.
