Don't you know?

by Rikki   Sep 30, 2007


Why do you have to act this way?
As if I'm deliberately trying to hurt you?
Don't you how much I love you?

I love you enough to say 'Don't call me.'
I love you enough to say 'I can't see you.'
I love you enough to feel myself dying, knowing you're with her.
I love you enough to tell you it'll never work with us.
I love you enough to stay away.

I've only ever hurt those I love, and I don't want to hurt you.
I don't want you to feel the way I do.
I really don't.

I love you so much that I'd rather feel my heart slowly die
So slowly dying for the lack of your kiss.
