I've been afraid of losing you
ever since I found out you were mine
Because when I love someone
I love them too hard
I want to talk to them all the time
and text them throughout the day
to let them know they were on my mind
Because I think about them constantly
but then I feel too clingy
I back off
I act like I don't care for them
as much as I do
Because I'm afraid they won't feel the same way
Because I've convinced myself
that no one could actually care for me
that people spend time with me
simply because they pity me
but behind my back
they talk about how annoying I am
or they don't mention me at all
because that's how little I matter to them
So you have no idea
how much I love you
You think you do,
But you don't
Because all I want is to hold your hand
and talk to you for hours
But instead I shove my hands in my pockets
and bite my tongue
Because I'm afraid you won't like me
if I say too much
That if you know how much I need you,
you'll leave
