When I said I was willing to stay

When I said that I was willing to stay even if I had no reason at all,

It does not mean that I was willing to unlove myself.

It does not mean that I was willing to stay even if you're taking me for granted.

I did not mean that I'd stay even if you don't need me at all.

When I said that I was willing to stay even if I had no reason at all,

It means that if you're afraid to let me go.

It means that if you're willing to work out everything

With me

Just to make me stay.

And I needed you to be the open creature,

Not afraid of showing the wounds,

Not afraid of telling me everything from the past,

Not afraid of telling me about the demons inside your head,

Not afraid to be vulnerable in me,

Because how can I understand you if you're not willing so?

How can I fully trust you when you're not trusting me

The wounds, the past that caused you to be this person

You are today;

The person I am currently loving.

I can't waste my life for the love that is not so sure about me.

I can't trust the love who could not trust me

With the past that made you feel miserable

Because how can I handle you with care

If you're not willing to be taken care of?

I cannot wait for the love who can't trust

Itself once the past returns.

It's not my responsibility to fix things alone

While it needed fixing from the past.

You are right,

When you said that

It is not my responsibility

To make you happy

Because to tell you

It is not my job to love the person

Who is not yet done loving the previous one.

It is not my job loving the person

Who is trying to search for that previous one

In the other being.

It is not my job to love the person

Who doesn't want to be loved.

It is not my job to love the person

Who doesn't want to trust me

With his demons

With his weakness

And with his whole being.

And yes, you don't want to be selfish to me

Yet for the whole time, you have no idea

That you were being selfish

For being not ready to be vulnerable

For not being ready to be loved

Wholeheartedly.

I don't despise you,

But instead I understand you,

Cause I were like you once.

I'll be whispering my wishes

Tonight, for you to be able

To confront your fears

Making it as your ally

And sit with your emotions

And for you to finally discover

Who you are

And to be capable

Of loving a new person next time.

Because no one can love a person

Who doesn't want to be loved.

Like me,

I can't love a person

Who is not yet over

Their past love.
