Don't tell me you love me
because it feels necessary,
or because it's what people do.
Tell me you love me
because it's what you feel,
or because it's a secret you've
buried for too long.
Don't tell me you love me
because you feel some pity for me,
or because it's the right thing.
Tell me you love me
because it's real and you believe
I deserve to know everything your
heart holds for me.
