One Hour

I'm not perfect
But I'm not a bad person either
And as I sit here
Slightly deflated
After my attempt to give it my best shot
Doubt creeps in from those shadowed corners
I didn't do badly
I know I could have done better
But I had one measly hour
One hour
To tell the one that I had been chasing
For the past three years
Why I believed we were meant to be together
That I loved him
Before he left

Eloquence failed me
But in those stumbling words
I hope he heard the passion
He questioned my feelings
He questioned my past
Then as he got up to go
He smiled, took my hand
And squeezed it
'I'll call you in a few days
and let you know'

I'm not perfect
But I'm not a bad person either
And as I sit here
waiting for his call
I know I won't give up
I'll keep on fighting
But please, just this once
Let me have a break
