All I Ask From You Poem by Julia Pascual

All I Ask From You

You know, I've been thinking lately
Maybe I've done something wrong
I've done something to make you hate me
Though we've been friends for so long

The tight bond between us I have ruined
I did all things possible to keep you away
Our friendship, because of me was broken
Though you have tried your best to stay

You might think of me as someone very selfish
Maybe you would say that I think of myself only
The truth is, our memories I will always cherish
Believe me, you will always be a part of me

I have always tried to tell you the very reason
But my words never reached your hard heart
My chances for you was only one in a million
That's why I chose for you and me to be apart

Why would I even waste my precious time
Loving someone who doesn't even love me back?
Why would I keep forcing myself into something
When there is definitely no space for me to stay in?

Keeping our friendship as it is would just hurt me
'Cause I can't be a friend to somebody I love
So please, just let my decision be as it should be
Don't make me wait for something I will never have

As long as my wound from loving you is still fresh
I know that the best way is for me to stay away
And I'll keep it that way until my feelings would all fade
Until then, I hope I won't see you by any means or way

It would be a great help if you'd be cold to me
So that it won't be that difficult to forget you
If only it's possible for you to be my worst enemy
Then leaving you forever will not be that hard to do

All I ask from you for now is time and space to think alone
Let me live a couple of weeks, months, or years without you
By then, I'll be able to know whether I need you in my life or not
Whatever the result my be, I'll be the one to let you know
