Because I Love You


This is not a free pass to hurt me inside.

Every time I get upset,

you emptily apologize.

I don't know if you ever mean it,

because I can't read your mind.

But if you do,

tell me why you have to do this all the time.

I want to be there for you,

and everyone I love.

But I can't when all those words means to you is,

"I can get away with it this time."

I need to be able to trust you,

and that's exactly what those words mean.

So please just come clean, and tell me everything.
