don't care who you are
when it's just me
more concerned
about who you'll be
the second i'm not a consideration

how you'll behave
behind the scenes
if i'm not
constantly showering
you with adoration

saying "i don't deserve you"
never meant to hurt you
patience is a virtue
haunted by words used

knowing i'll see it all now
why aren't you still proud
you wouldn't do it while i'm around
stop trying to play it down
