About this poem: Buffy writes about how Riley left.

***

I gave you all I had,

I gave you all I would ever need,

I gave you everything,

Baby, I gave you me.

_

But you left anyway,

And I don't think you wanted to.

Oh, don't get mad at me, please,

Why? Because I went after you.

_

I ran as fast I could,

I didn't dare to breathe,

For I felt that one wrong move,

Could ruin you and me.

_

I can't believe you didn't wait,

Wait just a little bit longer.

For I was on my way, baby,

Ready to make us stronger.

_

Yet you left,

You left just a bit too soon.

You left before I could kiss you,

Before I could win instead of lose.

_

I missed you, baby,

But then, I got over it.

Because that was when I saw,

That what we had, wasn't worth sh*t.
