When He Says

Location

When he tells you about their first date

And about how perfect that first summer was

He doesn't love you

 

When he explains to you in soft, hushed details

How he made love to her in the back of his jeep

He doesn't love you

 

When he tells the story of how he betrayed her trust

And broke her heart but still she stayed

He doesn't love you

 

When he tells you he can't sleep at night

Picturing her with him

So he holds you a little tighter

He doesn't love you

 

When he tells you that he doesn't love her anymore

But he cries on your shoulder

He doesn't love you

 

When you pour your heart and soul out to him

And he just smiles and tells you he's past feeling

He doens't love you

 

When he ignores all your problems

And all your issues are lesser than his

He doesn't love you

 

When he tells you about how there was supposed to be a baby

But there isn't

When he opens up and shows you the deepest darkest secret he has ever had

He doesn't love you

But he needs you.

And maybe someday, you will need him too.
