I Can't Love You

Location

I can not love you

not because you are not worthy of my affection or attention

and not because I worry of your intentions or possible rejections

I can not love you because I have yet been able to love myself

I dont desire you to fix me

I dont want you to make me feel strong and important

I dont need you to convince me that I am worthy of love

these things wills only shatter once youre gone

and so I will remain the same as if you never came

it is for this reason that I can not love you until I learn to love myself
