I don't love you
I don't like you
I don't care about you
Such is the simple truth

Such is the simple truth
But I want to love you
I want to like you
I want to care about you
I want to know you

I want to say one day
That I know you
That I love you
That I care about you
That I'm not using you

Because you never once used me
You never once hurt me
You saw me as a friend
You did care or so I want to believe
You made up some of my happiest days
You made me feel something no one else did

This desire is still selfish
For I latch onto you to feel human
For I latch onto you to experience something I may never experience
But I can't let go.

I'm sorry but I can't let go
I can't let go because all I've ever wanted to be is human
All I've ever wanted to be is kind
All I've ever wanted to be is empathetic
All I've ever wanted to be is selfless

I'm sorry you ever crossed my path
I'm sorry I chose you
I'm sorry you were saddled with a monster
I'm sorry you became the target
I'm sorry you became the path
I'm sorry you became an experiment
I'm sorry from the deepest parts of my heart.

All I can offer you is this apology because I’m never letting go of the thought of you.
I may torture myself this way but at least I feel human
You need not worry However
You'll never see me again
You'll never hear from me again.
As a result, I'll never love you for you can't love someone you don't know
I may even try to forget you, but I will fail
So, I apologise in advance if I continually use the thought of you to feel human
