For a Precious person

I shouldn't even be talking about this.
But I have seen the other side precious.
Not the same.
Maybe not even close.
But I've been rejected.
And still loved.
But I've been rejected.
When she still loved me.

He loves you precious
And I'm sure you know
Love ain't always easy

He loves you precious
Polite refusal is still rejection
rejection is never easy.
Not on him, I know, I been there.

He loves you precious
His love don't go away easy either
If it does, it wasn't love anyway

You love him precious
and I'm sure you know
Love ain't always easy

You love him precious
Your polite refusal was still rejection
rejection is never easy.
Not on you, I know.

You love him precious
Your love don't go away easy either
If it does, it wasn't love anyway

But precious , you don't seem to be ready for love
But precious , you don't seem to be ready for him
But precious , you got to understand that he needs to go
AWAY
But don't let him run
forever
unless you don't think you'll love him
forever

And right now precious
you don't seem to be ready for love
you don't seem to be ready for him
you got to understand that he needs to go
AWAY
But don't let him run
forever
unless you don't think you'll love him
forever

And right now precious
he doesn't seem strong enough to wait
he doesn't seem to be ready to understand
he doesn't seem to understand that you still need to grow
MORE
But don't let him run
forever
unless you don't think you'll love him
forever

And soon precious
he may be strong enough to wait
he may be ready to understand
he may be able to understand that you still need to grow
MORE
But don't let him run
forever
unless you don't think you'll love him
forever

Because he doesn't want to crawl to you when to him
you pushed him
AWAY
Because he doesn't want to crawl to you when to him
you
rejected
him
though he's not really
rejected
you're just not really
ready

But even though he can't understand
not now
maybe not ever
If you love him
if you think you can have something real with him
don't let him run
away
at least not
forever
unless you don't think you'll love him
forever
unless you don't think you'll want to be with him
forever

And if he's not strong enough to wait for you
at least for a little while
Maybe he's not strong enough to handle you
at least not
forever

and forever is what most of us are looking for
though I'm not sure when we will all find it
maybe not ever

But remember precious
He loves you
and you love him.
that's worth a whole damn lot.
But remember precious
you might not be the only one
that needs to grow
MORE

and if it doesn't work out
remember that it's ok precious
it's only love after all
and I'm sure you could love again
and if he was perfect for you
you would know and
you would have chosen him
so he must not be
not right now
maybe not ever

And if you need a shoulder to cry on
you have a blenderful of them
and mine too
we all gotta cry sometimes
and that's ok
as long as the next day
we remember to
Live.
Laugh.
Love.
