Pretend

"Love never fails"

Is a very common saying

But it's a god damn lie

Because it's failing now

And even though i try to love you

It doesn't seem you love me back.

And if I'm ever going to move on,

Find someone new to try and love,

I need you to tell me the truth.

Do you love me?

Do you hate me?

Do you just want to be my bff again?

Because it tears me apart

Half the time I don't know if I should hug you or not touch you.

I don't know if leaning on your shoulder is okay.

Maybe you want me to stay away from you?

It makes me feel awkward

Stupid

Alone

Because i can't go near you

Without being afraid

That you might actually hate me

Or yell at me

Or worse,

You'll pretend you love me.
