Do I Like You or Do I Love You?

Do I like you because you're kind or because our personalities complement each other?

or

Do I love you because you give me butterflies and my face instantly lights up whenever you walk into a room?

Do I tell you, or do I keep hiding my feelings?

Do I express my emotions, or do I pretend like you don't exist?

Cause if I hide my emotions...they run rampant in my mind, like animals in a cage waiting to be set free.

But if I pretend that you don't exist...then I won't exist in your world, and you will never see me, the real me.

And if I love you, what do I have to compare this feeling with?

The shouting at home? Stories in books?

And if I tell you this, will you love me back?

Will you ever love me back?

I already know the answer to that...

In this world, in this moment, right now?

...you will never love me back, because I will never love me back.

And I guess I've answered my question.
