I wish I could stop caring when you don't want me to
I wish you could see the way I fantasized over you and your talents
I don't think you ever wanted me to care the way I do
Not to care out loud
Not to care over the phone
Not to care about politics
Not to care too far into the future
Which is fair but impossible for me
And you tried to tell me
I know you tried to tell me
I was trying to listen too
But I can't stop caring
I can't stop worrying about you hurting
I can't stop worrying about you living as a fraction of yourself
I can't stop talking about it when I can't fix it
I wish I could've stopped falling when you wanted me to
