Despite

I wish I knew how to feel ten times bigger than myself

but I get so lost in the swarm that is me, that is inside of me

this being and entity that I am sometimes too out of touch with

and sometimes I can't separate myself from

I need to feel you, I need to feel that you feel me and I need to know that you see me

but I can't even see myself

can't even fix myself

 

I get so lost in the sadness that comes from constant failure and I lose touch with all the love that surrounds me

animals who loves me, the man who loves me

 

I want a man who tells me he needs his girl

you always need your girl

I love you so much

I love you so much for wanting me

I feel like you love me despite of who I am, how I am, who I am, how I am....

what separates my actions from who I am as a person, as a partner?

 

I may forget everything else, but I will never forget my love for you

I will never forget the pain that comes from just the thought of losing you

I want this to work, I want to work, I want to make this work

I can't' lose myself, but I myself am lost

I can't lose this, I can't lose you

what am I to do?

Where will we be in ten years time, will we love each other still or will our frustrations stopped our hearts from feeling the love despite what we are together?

I want you to love me for who I am, I need you to love me for who I am

not despite who I am...

I need to love me for who I am

not despite who I am
