I barely told you the truth

I wasn't thinking straight. I was only thinking about the weight in my chest and the warm fluttering in my stomach when I thought of you.

 

I don't think you like me.

I'm just fragile and you feel the need to protect me.

 

I would've told you earlier if I knew it would come to this. If I knew it would come to you not believing me. I didn't know if the time was right or even when that time would be. I'm starting to think I should have kept it to myself and bore the pain in silence.

 

Tell me where you're getting your advice. I don't think your aid is qualified enough to decipher me. They may have even told you I would hurt you.

 

You placed a distance between us and the space made me feel empty. I wasn't expecting anything from you I just wanted to be a little closer. What ever that meant.

 

 

When I said I love you and I care about you and I want to protect you did you ever question it?

I would sooner break completely than let our friendship go to waste.

I never wanted more. I just felt more.
