I Cannot Allow Myself To Love You

I cannot allow myself to love you

I cannot allow myself to love you 

In a physical way

Because it wouldn't be fair to you

And that's the last thing that I would want to do

Because I wouldn't want to mislead 
you to think 
that it could be any other way

But I can love you unconditionally 

In a spiritual way

If that's alright with you

Because I am still on a long road
to recovery 

Some people may say that 
they can heal in a day

But it is very different with me

And it might take me forever and a day

Before I can get back 
to being the 
person that I used to be

Especially when I loved someone so deeply

I cannot allow myself to love you 

In a physical way

Because it wouldn't be fair to you

And that's the last thing that I would want to do

Because I wouldn't want to mislead 
you to think 
that it could be any other way

But I can love you unconditionally 

In a spiritual way

If that's alright with you

Because I am still on a long road
to recovery
