What Love Is not

What Love is not

I'm not responsible for the choices you make

I'm not responsible for the chances you take

I'm not responsible for the dreams that you break

I'm not responsible for the longings you ache

I love you but for both of our sake

Don't expect me to fix every mistake

I'll be there when you begin to flake

But I'm not here for you just as soon as I wake

I can't give you all of me, that would be fake

Relationships require give and take

Know that I love you, asleep and awake

You are my duck, I am your drake

Love isn't just giving you all you can take

 If you knew I was coming, would you bake me a cake?
