Asking

Fri, 08/09/2013 - 19:10 -- tiraluv

You’ve filled my head with all kinds of things, created dreams, beliefs and things.

I thought all the time and attention you give was enough,

But then you had to go and mention all this other stuff.

Like lunch and dinner, Gucci purses, and Regular Show socks.

And after all of that, my heart still has a lock.

You got 32 keys but only one will work.

I wonder how long it’ll be before you give up.

I wonder how long it’ll take for me to give in.

To let you in and give this thing a try.

All I ask is that you don’t hurt me.

Don’t wait until I finally trust you, till I actually have faith in us two.

Tell me what your plans are.

Cuz I don’t need another broken heart.

I told you don’t hurt me and you said I won’t.

I only half believed you.

Those calm brown eyes could have easily been lying, for me to be able to tell would require some trying.

Some loving, some needing, and a little bit of teasing.

But all of that would require effort and true trust.

And I don’t want to do all that if you’re just going to hurt me.

So please don’t hurt me, and I won’t hurt you.

And if you love me, then let this be beautiful.

I said that about six months ago.

But now I’m laying here putting tears on my pillow.

Because I grew love for you in my garden of trust for you.

But now we’re about 2 inches from through and I don’t know what to do.

I don’t know about you but I don’t wanna lose you if I don’t have to.

So I ask of you, what do you think we should do?

So that our worlds aren’t split in two.

I’m all ears cuz I got fears that I’m gonna be missing you.

All I asked was that you don’t hurt me;

That you be there for me.

But I guess I asked too much of you.

So I won’t take too long to tell you that if we don’t fix this that our love will be a miss and I’ll be gone.

Every person has a max point of how much they can take. And I don’t think it’s fair how I cry while you bake.

And so you don’t make a mistake I’ll wait.

I’ll sit here and wait.

For you to figure out what road you’re going to take.

But don’t take too long cuz I won’t wait forever.

Anyway, this is the end of my letter.

And to think, all I asked was

Please don’t hurt me.
