I can not


I can not make you laugh till your chest hurts.

I can not make you smile till your cheeks are tired.

I can not hold your hand and send butterflies through you.

I can not hold you close to me and make you feel like your home.

I can not make you happy for more than a few hours.

I can not make you love me like I love you.

I can not love you like he can.
