Story of a one-sided love

So you’re gonna go straight back to her? After everything, she put you through?

She is not your home. She’s your apartment, your little rented space.

But for me, Me I am your home.

I’m the place you can relax and be yourself, where you feel warm even in the coldest of cold weather. The place where there’s not a care in the world, and where nothing can hurt you.

I will ALWAYS be your home, and you know that.

But for some reason you’re scared. Why are you scared?

Just let me in, I wanna be the one you take comfort in, the one you trust with your life.

But I guess in this day and age the words “I love you”, just mean something completely different to you. To you, they mean “let me waste your time, and put you through so much emotional pain.”

To me the words “I love you” mean “ I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to show you how beautiful you are and how much you deserve to be loved.”

I won’t be like your apartments, I’m different.

When I’m with you it feels like I’m floating, but when I’m apart from you I feel like I’m drowning. I wish to no longer drown.

Let me stay by your side and prove I’m nothing like the ones you’re scared of.

If I could I would give you the world, cause god I love you so much, I sometimes forget what hating myself feels like.

Sometimes just standing there under the sun's rays you look ethereal, and wow I never knew someone could look like that.

I need you to trust me, trust me to never let go of you, to never turn my back on you.

I need you to not be scared anymore, you need to let down your wall for me.

I’m always going to be there for you no matter what I’m doing I will always make time for you.

I’m never going to let you feel like you can’t trust me, I would never make a little mistake in our past that could jeopardize our future.

I want to be the one you always want to run to.

Maybe you like the pain of getting hurt, or is her love the only love you ever knew?

She isn’t loving, I can show you what actual love is. She was a substitute for me when I wasn’t there.

Well I’m here now and yet you still can’t leave her, you don’t see how much she’s hurting you or maybe you do and you’re not stopping her.

Maybe you’re trying to stop her but she just has too much power over you.

I will always be here to help you fight, I will always be here for you to find comfort in.

I will always be here because I’m your home.

What happens when I’m not here anymore? When your home falls down to the ground after it doesn't have any support left. When I finally get tired of being your second choice, when I get tired of trying to help you but you just push me away.

What are you gonna do then? I can promise you I’ll be long gone before you have the chance to run back to me.

For now, I’m still here hoping you’ll finally understand that I’m the right one for you and that you’ll come running to me so you can finally have the happy ending you’ve always wanted.
