it's not that I don't love you, it's the time my sister fell in love with a boy that was still seeing his ex. it's her throwing up, because she found out she was pregnant. it's the sound of her crying not knowing what to do..

it's not that I don't love you, it's the sounds of doors getting slammed in my face when I was 7,  because all my dad did was run away.

it's not that I don't love you, it's the feeling of love I never got because my dad left and choose his girlfriend and her daughter over my mom and I.

It's not that I don't love you, it's the boy that broke my heart, and took everything I had to offer him, with him.

it's not that I don't love you, it's the 22 hours I spent in the emergency room hoping my best friend will be okay, because the boy she thought loved her, didn't love her anymore. you can still see how much pain, just by looking into her eyes.

its not that I don't love you, it's all the blood, tears, yelling, and heartbreaks.
it's not that I don't love you, it's that I do..
