you're never really the type
to speak too much,
you aren't even showy,
never really liked touch,
sometimes i just feel tired
with all the constant chasing,
with always having to tell and ask,
all the constant alluding,
sometimes i wonder,
do i show my love too much?
have i always been intense?
should i just sit and watch?
looking at you,
guy described as nonchalant,
oh, to be as laidback as you in this relationship,
maybe that's what i should want,
it's draining to be the only one showing affection,
while the other just sits and watch,
my god, make me feel loved//
i beg of you, that's all i ask.
