Why do you choose to love me?
You know I destroy everything in my wake
Why do you continue to care for me?
You know I can't do the same for you
Why do you insist on my well-being?
You know I won't be okay
Why can't I grasp why?
You've known it all along
Why can't I come to terms with it?
You did from the moment we touched
Why can't I say it out loud?
You do all the time
Why can't I love?
You can. It's clear
You know I'll finally be okay
once I tell you
"I love you, too."
