Reciprocity failure

I sent you a Valentine 

You gave me a piece of your mind 

I offer you optimism 

You send me your criticism 

I offered you my open hand 

You told me I was bland 

I offered you my heart 

You warned me not to start 

I told you my vision 

You gave me your decision 

I walked away 

You slayed my day
