I can't make you

Love can be complicating!

By MICHELLE SMITHPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I can't make you like me, or even love me

Is there a chance you even want me?

You are ghost until you have free time, or I pop up in your mind

A message here and there, are you even interested anywhere?

I can't make you like me, or even love me like I want

We could be something that we never thought

Yet you don't take time to have a conversation

Let alone even meet up in person

You are waiting for effort on my end, however, will you ever begin this thing?

Waiting on you is like slowly fading away

Every part of me is wondering were you ever interested

I can't make you like me, or even love me

Though I with I knew what went through your mind

I know our parenting makes it hard, but we could try this thing

You must be willing and all in

I can't make you like me, or even love me

Though I wish I could see if there is a future for you and me

Will this dream ever be a reality?

I can't make you like me, or even love me

Oh how I wish I could

You pop in my mind like a new toy from the store

All I want is to know more

To know if you are the one or is it just a fling

I can't make you like me, or even love me

Could you just tell me do you even want me?
