Understood

You were right
but I know 
it wasn't about that
the point is 
where's the man 
you trusted 
to be your strength
when you need it
the man with purpose
maybe I was too
blind to notice
how vulnerable I was
I never saw it
as a weakness
but looking back
how many times
did I put others first
their feelings
only for my feelings
and my fighting spirit 
to be crushed
under the weight
of their decision
to leave me behind
you warned me
but you know me
I love hard
and when I fall 
I fall harder
so now what
now I get back up
there's still time
