I don't understand, he said.
I can't explain it, I said.
But I want to be with you, he said.
I can't do that, I said.
But I love you, he said.
And I said nothing back.
How can you tell him you love him
when you don't know how to love?
How do you tell him you used to know
but you always believed no one could ever love you back?
Because you never loved yourself.
How can you let him give you everything
when you have nothing to give back?
Because you already threw yourself away.
How can you let him hold you so close
when you're so used to running,
hiding behind a pretty smile and eyes that never shed a tear?
Because your heart has cried itself empty.
How can you let him make you happy
when all you know is pain?
Because you thought that's all you deserved.
I want you, he said.
I can't give you that, I said.
Well at least take all of me, he said.
I can't accept that, I said.
I still love you, he said.
And I almost said it back.
How can you NOT tell him you love him
when nothing has been more true?
How do you teach your heart to love again
when you've been wrong so many times before?
And you don't even know if you're capable of love anymore.
How can you let yourself feel
when you stopped caring many boys ago?
And you hate yourself for what you let them do to you.
How can you look him in the eyes
when he might see inside of you,
past your pretty smile and uncrying eyes,
and into your soul?
Because he could never love you then.
(Or could he?)
I have to know, he said.
I said nothing back.
Please don't do this, he said.
I said nothing back.
I have to go, he said.
And still, I said nothing back.
How can you ever let him stay?
I still love you, he said.
How can you forget about yesterday?
I'll always love you, he said.
But how can you let him just walk away?
I love you too, I said.
