Terms of Surrender

I can only respect your right to reject.
I have to reject your right to expect
That each time you need, I will be there to help.
Instead, I'll start looking out for myself.
It's isn't the case that you suddenly repel me,
But you're not gonna buy, so I won't try to sell me.
You don't want my best, so you're not gonna get it.
What I feel for you will go to seed, and I'll let it.
Infatuation's cheap. I'll find a replacement,
In casual friendship with you grow complacent.
We'll both make mistakes until I have learned
How I can see you on both of our terms.
