You Is Not Me

lending is not giving
intending is not living
defending is not insisting
pretending is not persisting

I'm okay is not I'm good
you could is not you would
you saw is not you look
being there is not you understood

alone is not together
now is not forever
emotions are not clever
sometimes is not never

time is not a healer
a kiss is not a seal
broken is not complete
patience is not defeat
