If you can’t reach out your hand

to touch my skin at night…

If you can’t wipe away the tears you cause

as I lay next to you and cry…

If you can’t give me undivided attention

when all I need is your eyes on me…

If you can’t step up to the plate

to be the man you said you’d be…

If you can’t pick up the phone for a minute

just to ask about my day…

If you can’t ask me not to leave

when I stand to walk away…

If you can’t meet me where I am

to try to understand my needs…

If you can’t grow together with me

to bring life to our dreams…

If you can’t trust me enough

to let your real emotions show…

If you can’t open up to me

to tell me what I don’t know…

If you can’t be the same man

I fell in love with all those years ago…

Then, please, I beg of you,

love me enough to let me go.
