Why Can't You Love Me Back?

Why can’t you love me back?
Why can’t you forget her and realize somebody wants to be with you?
Somebody who won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
Somebody who loves talking to you everyday.
Somebody who believes in you.
Somebody who trusts you.
Who loves you.

Why can’t you love me back?
You mean so much to me.
But all I do is give give give
And all you want is for things to go back to normal
All you want is for me to change how I feel so things aren’t “awkward” between us
Are you just blind to the torture I’m going through trying to deny that I love you this much?
The absolute torture that builds and builds and until I can take no more and I end in a flurry of tears.

Why can’t you love me back?
It’s not like you couldn’t love me.
But I know you won’t.
And you never will.
But I’ll be here.
If you need me.
Alone.
