Why


Why?

Why do you look at me like you do?

What do you see in me? I can't even see anything in myself

Why would you go through all of this just to talk to me?

Why would you stay with me when I'm hurting?

Why do you love me?

 

Nobody has ever cared enough to love me like you do. I've always felt worthless, like I'm not enough. I just wanna make you and everyone else happy. I'm sorry if I'm not enough. I'm trying. Iknow its not good enough for some people. I've lost so many people. I would change my whole lifestyle just to make them happy, even after they hurt me. So why would you choose to watch someone hurt themselves? Why?
