No man has ever loved me
I’ve only been loved by women
But I’ve never had a mans touch
Someone who wraps their broad shoulders around my fragile body
Someone to tell me that “I’m his favourite girl” in a deep voice
Someone to over-protect me and be afraid of other men
The men in my life don’t love me
The man I’m suppose to grow up with, left me at birth
The man who replaced him, wishes that I wasn’t his step-daughter
The man in charge of my mother, was too busy supporting me to ever show that he loved me
The boys that I liked throughout middle school, never liked me back
So when I say that no man has ever loved me
Understand that I’m afraid of your touch but I crave it
I’ve never had a man wrap his arms around me or call me his
You’re the first man to tell me I’m beautiful
You’re the first man to not always have to fake smiles with me
You’re the first man that I loved who has loved me back
Men are completely new to me
And it’s frightening to be loved by one
You're the first man to hold my hand lovingly
And it made me anxious the first time you did it
Because I expect so little from men that you’re the one setting all the expectations
Every other man after you, is going to have to live up to the path you’re setting
So thank you for setting it up in a way where I am respected and adored
But I have to say that I’m sorry because I am for waiting for the day you leave me
It’s as if theres a countdown in my head but I don’t know the end
You’re a ticking time bomb to me and it’s only because you’re a man
No other man has ever treated me right so I didn't expect you to either
And it scares me that you do
Something must be wrong with you if you’re willing to love me
No man has ever loved me so why do you?
