She Says She Loves Me

She says she loves me, she says she loves me

so she clings to me even when I want to be left alone

But she’s beautiful

Like sometimes when I have things on my mind, she’s the perfect person to listen

and she only gives advice, she says when I give her a cue

She says she loves me

Like when I wake up in the morning

she’s sitting on the edge of the bed with a plate of food, wanting to feed me

She says she needs me, she says she loves me

Or like when I’m stepping out of the shower

she’s standing there with the towel, wanting to, wanting to dry me off

She says, she says she loves me

So instead of admitting that she has made another mistake

she says, she says she loves me

And I

don’t know

about

love,"
