Please don't leave

Please don't leave, but if you choose to, I wouldn't blame you

I really give you no reason to stay nor do I keep you happy but I still try 

My past has my heart guarded, and even when I try to give my all, it's hard to open up again to someone new, 

knowing that pain is the only thing waiting at the end of this adventure

I love you more than words can describe, and I never thought I would say that (or feel that way) about anyone, 

but there was something about you that made me genuinely happy when we first met 

You really do mean the world to me, and sometimes I have a hard time showing it, but it's true

I constantly need reassurance even though we have been together for four months,

but it's only because I know that the girls out there are so much better than me and so much better for you than me 

It's only a matter of time before you start believing that too, and then leave

But I am begging you, please don't, 

putting my heart out on the line once again was the scariest thing I have ever done, 

and I know that I am not the easiest person to deal with but,

when you have a million reasons to go, please look for and hold onto that one reason to stay, 

that's all I ask
