Do You Love Me or Not

I wrote this about 11 years ago when I was conflicted about wanting to get back with an ex or be with someone new. Said ex had broken up with me because of "long distance". Only for me to realize he cheated and to not look bad broke up with me and waited a week to start dating the other girl. Back then, my problem was when I fell for someone I always fell hard. Fast forward to a year and two months after the break up my feelings for my ex hadn't completely disappeared but I met someone that I wasn't even looking for. We had stared out as friends, growing closer the more we got to know each other. I honestly didn't notice that I had started developing feelings for him until some of my friends had pointed it out. As soon as I realized they were right I became reluctant and worried that lightning would strike twice if we stared dating and he would turn out to be to good to be true just like my ex. It didn't help that my long forgotten feelings for my ex resurfaced when he had reached out to me as an "old friend just checking up on me". Mind you a week before the new guy decided to ask me out. Even crazier they both asked me out on the same day that's why I was so conflicted and me being me I wrote my feelings out before deciding who I'd chose.

DO YOU LOVE ME OR NOT: by 0Shadow0Princess0

He doesn't love me, he doesn't even stare, why should I even bother, why should I care? If he doesn't love me the way I love him, why should I even try? All I want is for you to love me. All I need is someone to love me back. Help me, please don't let me die. I can't rest without your answer. Can you fix my shattered heart? Can you erase the pain inside? All I ask is a simple little question do you love me or not?

He doesn't love me, he doesn't even stare, why should I even bother, why should I care? If he doesn't love me the way I love him, why should I even try? As much as I am still afraid to get hurt, I always have to fail in order to succeed. I can't live this way anymore. Are you the right one for me? Am I going to to make another horrible mistake? All I ask is a simple little question do you love me or not?
