Things I'll Never Tell You: A Compilation


You risk so much for people who care so little and never ask why. This is the kind of person you've become.

Selfless at your own expense. You give and never ask for anything in return.

You speak your heart with the intention to be hard but no one really listens.

You spread love because it feels good. In hopes, someone will return the favor.

You, you need to remember that you come first. But you won't learn from your mistakes.

I love you. Do you know that? Do you really know it?

Because I do. I love you in ways that there are no words to describe.

I just, know it. I can feel in my bones. Do you?

I know it in ways that hurt. I know you know that one.

It happened ever so slowly and then all the sudden, I knew.

You were never just another guy with charm and a nice smile.

No, you were more than that.

I knew I could trust you from the moment I met you. You felt like home and you still do.  • I regret nothing. Not a single thing. You’re worth it. I know it. I love you. I hope you know it too.

 

It's just a lot. Impatiently waiting. You have always been good at reading books but you got a quarter through mine and set me down. You left my pages wide open. You never closed my book, you just stopped reading. So I sit, wide open, waiting for you.
