that's all he ever gave me

that's all I ever will receive

maybe I deserve it

maybe he's not the one for me


but i love him so much

even though he lacks physical touch

but even so i love him

isn't that enough?


"can't hang out today because nobody will drive me"

Would you ever even come?

Even when I am dying?


"can't show affection because it's not allowed"

i understand that you can't physically

but can't you do it another way somehow?

I need to know you love me

If you don't that's ok

Because the longer I hang onto you

The worse it'll hurt when you go away


So please just be truthful.

I'm over the excuses.
