no longer wanted

I shared with you my dreams,
as humble as they be,
yet to be known.

I walked with you by my side,
if only for a time,
and feelings, they did grow.

I felt love from you for me.
Mine was slower to come,
though come, it did in time.

And I know you stopped loving me,
the day I started loving you.

I always knew it would be that way.
It is why my heart held back so long.

So here we stand,
as I try to get close
and you push away.

Not much of a push
is what it takes,
to push me away
from where I am
no longer wanted.
