A man who loves you won’t call you a ***** or a *****, or say you’re crazy, or say you’re the worst thing that’s ever happened to him and ******* 2 hours later like somehow that will undo the memories inside your brain of all the ugly words he’s ever said So why am I stuck in a limbo of knowing this isn’t what I’m supposed to be spending my life like and staying because it’s comfortable Maybe if I loved you less you wouldn’t resent me so much Maybe if I was a little less of this and a little more of that you’d hold my hand in the car on the way to dinner Why does loving you feel like muscle memory to me Why does hating you feel like breathing Why don’t I hate you enough to walk away Maybe I’m afraid loving someone else would feel too safe after all of the wars I’ve fought with you
