Mistake

I have made mistakes

I will make mistakes

And the mistake I am making today

Will be that

I will tell you

I love you

You will be scared

Because you won’t feel the same

Way you did with your first love

You won’t say it back to me

You will remind me how you hate

Being alone

You won’t say it so bluntly

But this is why we are together

Because you want to be loved

But you don’t want to get hurt again

You will accept my love

As long as you don’t have to

Feel it back
