Dilemma

I met you and admiration quickly grew into fascination
But even dreams can be interrupted by the presence of temptation.
 
It’s not that I don’t appreciate the things you do.
But if I care I must admit I’m not prepared for you.
 
I’m not ready for someone to be dependent upon me.
I’m not interested in being constantly reminded about we.
 
You are my best friend, my biggest fan.
You’ve helped me grow as a man.
So if I know I can save you heartache and stress,
I think it’s only right that I do what I can.
 
Some may say it’s selfish, but my intentions are selfless.
I know you love me enough to ignore our flaws. You just can’t help it.
 
It’s not that I believe I’m not good enough.
It’s not that I am not mentally tough.
But I don’t want you to resent me one day
Because I didn’t give you real love.
 
So now I have a dilemma.
It’s hard to pick a plan.
Because I know either way I chose,
You still won’t understand.
 
Should I let you go and risk never having you return?
If you end up with another, what lesson did I really learn?
 
Should I stay with you and let others share your turn?
If I spark flames with her, I fear you’ll feel the burn.
 
If I move on, So will you.
There may be no more us
If I stay, I won’t be faithful.
There will be no trust.
 
If it’s over, I’ll miss we
If we remain, you’ll resent me.
I hope you don’t hate me,
But right now we just can’t be.
