I'm here.
I have always been.
When you stopped talking to me, I was there.
Then you left and came back, and I was still there.
You always seem so shocked that I stay.
It is because no matter what happens, I will always be here for you.
I told you I would never leave you, I haven't.
Instead I sit and wait, for you, to come back with your heart shattered; for you to come back to be surprised that I waited.
No matter how many times you come and go, I will sit and wait for you to come back, because some part of me still loves you when you do.

I remember that night.
I drove to your friends house.
I walked to the garage to greet you.
You looked down at me with that smile of yours, god I loved it so much.
I looked you in the eyes and said I never loved you.
I lied.
I wanted to cry in front of you, but instead I walked away as you just looked.
I just hope you knew that I was lying.

What do you expect?
For me to sit here and say, “I love you”
When you don’t even do the same.
You don’t treat me like you used to.
So please, I beg of you,
Do Not Hate Me.
Do not hate me when I love someone else.
Do not hate me when I tell them I adore them with all my heart.
Do not hate me when they’re the one I think about constantly.
Do not hate me for falling out of love with you.
I stay because I fear breaking your heart, breaking the promise that I’d love you forever.
You don’t even bat an eye at me,
So forgive me when I love someone who loves me too.
