The insecurity to love

I cant make you love me,

to kiss a thousand roses and they are all fake

just to last a decade,

just to last a century,

just to last a life time

but id, rather be the real one...

the petals would touch your lips and crisp into thin air

leaving a pure soft sensual touch that leave you breathless but...

the thing is... at least you will remember it,

yet i cant make you love me

feel this,

it skip beats through my chest when you are near it

like an elephant stomping into the grasslands of Africa

feeding his face with water becuase he is thirsty

just like you, you are something i need

yet i cant make you love me

the need for you is unbearable to take

an ineffable thought i want to break

so i can explain what you make me feel

passing all things unreal

but when reality kicks in

i still cant make you love me

is it so hard to want to love

because when pain kicks in i will still hang tough

i care too much...

but i can love you and every bit of you if you would let me

but my stupidity fell over me when he said the truth well:

how can i love you when you can't love yourself?
