You asked me if I loved you.
I didn't know how to reply
seeing that I don't know
what love is just yet.
You told me that you loved me
so I should love you back
and I don't think that's how it
works.
You told me that you
accepted me,
that no one else would
that I would be alone
without you.
Just because you accepted someone
does not mean you love them
because if it did then I would
love so many people.
And I know others accept me,
that I won't be alone if you
leave.
But let me ask you something.
How was I,
a sad little girl,
supposed to love you
when she couldn't
even love
herself?
