Ode to the Over-Thinkers

I wish I could tell you  
Just how hard I tried  
to help you realize  
that you were not pinned down  
so you didn't have to hide  
 
Even when you messaged me  
at 4am  
when I responded  
you still didn't want to be pinned down  
 
So young  
so dumb  
you didn't know what you wanted  
so scared  
so confused  
you could always just say what you wanted  
 
And when I walk through the park  
I don't think about you  
no not anymore  
And when I'm at work  
I just don't care  
 
say what you will  
you knew what it was  
you chose a cowards way out  
and ran from me  
 
If I give you  
the impression that I'll stay  
or that I'll care for you  
and not throw you away  
 
I'm sorry  
I learned my lesson  
 
I just wish  
that I could tell you  
but then I would have to  
man up myself  
and it wouldn't help  
you won't let yourself change your mind  
So fuck it
