you tell me to lay off
you tell me to shut up
you tell me to back off
you tell me to hold back
you tell me to go away
you tell me you hate me
you tell me to not force me onto you
you tell me that i annoy you
you tell me i get on your nerves
you tell me you can't stand me
you tell me you're tired of me
you tell me i make you sick
you tell me you don't want things to do with me
but
give me a reason to stay
give me a reason to cry because of you
give me a reason to care about you
give me a reason to be angry
give me a reason to lie awake at night
because
it's not easy to talk to you
it's not easy to approach you
you're everything i'm not
you're sweet
you're pretty
you're loved
you don't know that
why can't i do it right with you
why can't i help stealing a second glance at you
why can't i not turn red when you pass me in the hallways
why can't i stop
because
i can't hold back
i love you.
