You are everything I've ever wanted
in anybody
And you are kind, caring, and considerate.
You are creative and intelligent.
And you are sweet
And don't care what others say.
You are ambitious.
And you are able to give me space.
You are trustworthy
And you are crazy about me.
And most of all, you act like you
actually
love me.

But I...
I can't see myself with you.
I can't picture our future.
I can't trust you,
because I couldn't trust him.
I can't be affectionate,
the way you are towards me.
I can't stop myself from shutting you out.
And sadly...
unfortunately...
I can't
love you...
the way you
deserve to be loved.

I can't.
