If you really love me,
you'd still cradle that flame -
even though all I do is hurt you -
you'd stay optimistic,
because loving me includes understanding me...
And if you understand me,
you'd know that I bring pain,
no matter how hard I try
and I distance myself from you,
to protect you.
I unintentionally harm others and I think my perfect half would have to be able to cope with that and cope with me needing alone time - very often.
