sometimes it’s hard to love you 

but it makes me love you more 

i try to keep your walls 

down to the floor 

something comes up 

you’re halfway out the door 

you’re scared of love 

because people always leave 

i know you don’t hear it 

when i tell you ‘but not me’

it’s hard to show someone you love them 

when the only form of love they know 

always ends 

but you don’t walk away

you show them the type of love they’ve always wanted 

you stay.
