I'm Not Leaving

I'm not leaving.
No matter what I say,
No matter what I do,
No matter how I may act,
I'm not leaving.

I still love you,
You seem not to though.
I won't give up hope yet
Until you give me a reason to.
I still have hope for us.
I still love you.

My heart breaks
As I see you with other girls.
My heart breaks
As I see you smiling
And I know I'm not the reason why.
My heart breaks as I think of you not loving me anymore.
My heart breaks everytime.

I pretend.
I pretend to not notice you.
I plug myself in.
I look the other way.
I force myself to think of other things.
I pretend I don't think about us.
I pretend that it won't hurt me if you don't feel the same way.
I have to pretend for my sake.

I've wanted to ask.
Ask about your feelings towards me.
Do you still love me
Like I love you?
I promise things won't be the same.
I just want to throw caution to the wind
And just kiss you.
I've wanted to do so many things.
But I don't have the courage to, I just can't.

Should I do it?
Should I care anymore?
I know I won't be over you anytime soon.
I want to get another chance.
I won't hurt you.
I'll love you like I should've in the first place.
I'll cherish our time together.
I'll open up to you when you want to know what I'm thinking.
I've been afraid of being hurt but I realized,
I've been the one hurting you all along.
All I ask for is another chance.

I know I don't deserve it.

I wish I could move on from you but I can't.

No one else is like you.

I love you.

If you're over me, I get it.

I'll then find a way to get over you too.

But until then,

I'm not leaving.
