Giving Your Dear Heart Space

I love him. But things just need space for room to grow.

I gave you all of me. 

Sometimes in little pieces,

sometimes in spillage,

but everyday,

 I gave you all of me I could give. 

And I could give more,

every moment I could tell you something new, 

because I give you all of me. 

Up until I made the decision to let you go.

But I could give you more.

You were here.

You left your mark on me. 

I gave you all of me,

and I could give you more.

You walked out,

but you were here.

You walked out.

I gave you all of me,

every day,

and I could still give you more,

so here I am now,

instead of with you,

but

you were here.

and you decided to walked out.

I held on. 

I gave you all of me,

every day, 

and still every day I could give you more.

Because I appreciate that you were here.

Even though you walked out,

I held on. 

I love you truly,

you make me feel everything under the sun and above the moon,

I gave you all I had to give of me,

knowing that I can always give you more.

You were here for me in my darkest times, 

and my brightest,

and all the in-between.

You walked out,

I held on, 

and still, 

I love you truly.

I let you go,

I gave you everything I had to give, 

I could give you more, 

every day I wake, 

because you were here for me through and through.

but still,

you left,

you walked away,

you walked out. 

I choose to hold onto the beauty of it all.

I love you truly,

but I felt that the pain was so heavy without you,

I chose to let you go.

I'm giving your dear heart space.

I gave you all I have to give,

and I could give you more, 

endlessly,

infinitely,

because you had my back,

you left your mark on me,

you were here,

but yet,

you couldn't stay, 

you left,

you walked away.

you walked out.

I hold onto every piece of you that remains in my heart,

even in the cold and even in the dark.

because I love you truly, 

endlessly,

infinitely,

I let you go,

I need that space to grow,

just like you,

the weight is lifted,

and I'm giving your dear heart space.

The poem is a little long on account of all the repetition. Some repetition is good, but it's overwhelming here. I think that the feel of the poem can be preserved if you cut it down some. It'll look cleaner and still invoke strong emotions.
I loved it. Thanks for sharing. :)
