When I say "I love you"
What I mean is
I am fragile, please don't break me
What I mean is
Do you love me too?
What I mean is
I've never known a healthy relationship
What I mean is
Maybe you'll stop sleeping with other people
What I mean is
Please don't leave me for her. again.
What I mean is
I hope you're in a good mood
What I mean is
Hopefully I won't end up bruised tonight
What I mean is
I have attachment issues
What I mean is
I'm too scared to let go
What I mean is
Will someone else besides you ever fall for me?
What I mean is
My self esteem is too low
What I mean is
You're the only person I've ever slept with
What I mean is
I don't want someone else to memorize the freckles on my face
What I mean is
You know me better than I know myself
What I mean is
Please stop lying to me
What I mean is
Please leave
What I mean is
Please don't ever leave.
When I say "I love you"
What I mean is
I am waiting to be loved right
But time is a virtue
And we don't have forever
