I'm sorry, I can't.
No you haven't done anything wrong,
I just can't do this.
The only way this is going to work
Is if I force myself to feel nothing
And for you to feel nothing in return.
If you could just do that for me please,
I would really appreciate it.
Because I enjoy your company and
I like being around you and
I want to be your friend, or
Whatever it is that we are.
But I don't want to love you.
I don't want to remember your birthday
Or get you a well-thought out gift.
I don't want to care how your day was
Or exchange stories about
The lives we led before we met.
I don't want to make memories with you
Or fall asleep with you next to me.
And I don't want to miss you when you're gone,
Or have to feel the painful empty space
You're inevitably going to leave behind.
Because you will go at some point,
And if I force myself not to care
I just might be able to handle that.
These feelings aren't reserved for you.
I don't want to love anyone. I'm sorry.
