You gave me more

In one silly little game, you gave yourself.
The words were direct enough
You left them here.
And then you retreated.

I sit here in this empty space
Trying to salvage all that you said
I wish I had kept your words somehow
So I wouldn't feel like I imagined it.

You said the things that I had thought.
You said the things that I had felt.
You said things that I didn't know that I needed or wanted to hear.
In you, I saw myself. 
I grew to trust you.
I ended up giving you the whole truth.

I gave you everything you wanted.
And you gave me something I never knew I needed.
You gave me more in those couple of weeks
Than a decade of tears.
