you can tell me i’m beautiful

but i won’t believe you.

you can tell me i’m amazing

and still won’t have a clue.

you can tell me you love me

i’m sorry, it might seem that i doubt its truth.

you can tell me all these things;

i love hearing them from you.

i just hope that you won’t give up waiting

for me to whisper back “i love you, too.”
