Blinded

Sometimes in love we take things for granted

So blinded by my own insecurities 

I miss the signs 

As I lost sight 

I no longer noticed the good the positive 

I started taking you for granted 

I missed the many ways you showed me love daily 

My focus was on the ways I wanted you to show me you love me 

Reassure me 

Want me 

I'm sorry 

Maybe I'm not to blame 

But I made my share of mistakes 

So it's my cross to bear 

I'm to blame 

As I regain my sight 

I realize you tried 

You did what you knew 

Take care of your family despite the issues 

I've gained perspective 

Unfortunately it took space 

It took losing you 

For my sight to be regained
