What did I do to deserve you?
Never-ceasing love for me,
The courage it took to say those
Three silly words confidently.

No. I am sure I do not.
Don't cover the desperate truth,
I have no reason or motive to lie,
You think my words are untruth.

Honesty hurts both of us,
No. The stubborn word stuck in my mind,
My own voice repeating two letters
Constantly playing on rewind.

This is how things have to be,
I thought you should know,
How awesome and amazing you are,
I lack those traits, so my answer is no.

You do not care if I am perfect,
You feel the exact opposite as I do,
To know you think you don't deserve me,
Has me laughing and appreciating you.

I smile while I fall asleep,
You must be there in my dreams,
Our minds work so differently,
Mine houses worry, yours holds schemes.
Another oldie, from middle school, whats crazy is that even 8 later I still suffer from the same self esteem issues.
