Did I give to much?

I gave you anything you wanted?
What was in my heart I could freely give?
Yet now I find each day is harder
Does it sound weak to say it's even hard to live?

The one thing you did take that I need back now
It was my voice and the words to you I used to say
Because now sitting here without you
Seeming to have no way to tell you I love you today

That in itself is what frightens me always
I know you never needed to hear the words to know I care
But without the words that come from my heart
How can you ever know that I'm still here?

I want to step back, I want to give you time
Even if it's just for me to let my heart heal
But I don't want to lose any part of you
I don't want to forget the way you feel

So now I fill this hole in my heart with your memories
Maybe it's to keep my heart from caving in
That's how much of my heart I gave to you
Never realizing it till the very end
