My Favorite Mistake

I love you too much,
I'm unable to let you go
And move on with life.

Call it cowardice or codependency
Or ineffective coping or anything else.
You're an addiction, my favorite mistake.

I wish I had my mother's courage
Or my father's reasoning; instead
I have my grandfathers' passions.

We're together forever, some
Days are better than others.
I know you love me.

I'm addicted to you, I need you,
Unable to let you go, but not to grow
For better or worse or more.

I love you so much and I
Keep coming back for more.
I just won't let you go - I refuse!
