If loving you were easy <br />I'd love you like I should. <br />I've opened up my heart to you <br />and tried as best I could. <br />I don't expect reassurance. <br />I know some think I'm cold. <br />I needed your love when I was young. <br />But now I'm just too old. <br />I've lived without your guidance. <br />I've lived without your hugs. <br />I'm sure you don't remember <br />a time without your drugs. <br />You chose the life you're living. <br />I wished you all the best. <br />Now it's time to say goodbye <br />and lay this thing to rest. <br />If loving you were easy, <br />I'd love you like I should. <br />I've opened up my heart to you <br />and tried as best I could.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-loving-you-were-easy/
