I have to stop saying sorry
for something I know is worth complaining about
No, it isn't fine.
Love me like you used to
In the beginning when you didn't deal
You'd smile and call me silly
Even when I clearly said something stupid, or did something irritating
Now I have to stop, and walk away with my tail between my legs because your stern voice reminds me you have limits
You have a meter that fills up a little too quickly when I get excited, and relaxed, and love you
Part of the beauty of relationships is learning what makes the other tick, and I am your fuse that meets the bomb too quickly
Some times you're a dud and you allow me to be childish
but because I complained, so now I overthink and I should clock out
I don't want to be a burn that's tolerable
But if you were lava, I would lie down and let you flow
If you wanted to wrap me around your body 10x for whatever reason
I would assume the position
I love you and wouldn't feel uncomfortable doing the things you want
Even though holding my hand is impossible for you
It just makes things difficult when everything I do makes you cringe
I used to look into your eyes and see the world, but now I want to look around at the room
And you used to try to cover your lips from trembling when I said, "I love you"
But now your voice can't get anymore casual in your reply
You used to spasm when you thought you nudged me too hard
Now I'm the one getting hurt from nudging you
Remember when we'd go out to eat and get lost in that silence
Remember when we'd watch the moonlight on the river, and the cop would kick us out
Remember when we'd just walk, and talk about what if's and our future
Remember when we'd catch our breath and look up at the stars
Remember when you didn't want me to go home
Remember when you wanted to hangout
Remember when you wanted me to stay
I've cried from you attacking me with your love
Trying to prove everything to me
I believed it
I know you love me, but it's not like how it used to be
I used to say I'd never say that "I love you more" bullshit
But I keep leveling up, and the experience doesn't affect you anymore
I love you so fucking much
And I could never let you go
Love me like you used to
