So, you’re honestly gonna sit here and fix your lips to say that I don’t love you??

Waiting patiently for you to come to your senses and realize what you have in me…but I don’t love you?
Constantly defending your name when people are steadily putting it down…but I don’t love you?

Pushing my feelings aside to make sure you’re always happy…but I don’t love you?
Placing my heart on the line, time and time again…but I don’t love you?

Sporting a smile so the pain in my heart that you’ve caused doesn’t show through…but I don’t love you?
Parading around like everything is copasetic so your reputation won’t be shattered…but I don’t love you?

Supporting your dreams when your “family” doesn’t even believe in them…but I don’t love you?
Being your motivating force when your world is falling apart…but I don’t love you?

Using my last to get to you and don’t ask for a dime in return…but I don’t love you?
Not stressing over you sneaking out the house at 3 in the morning…but I don’t love you?

Neglecting my happiness because I know we have the potential to be great…but I don’t love you?
Giving you the attention you desire BUT damn sure don’t deserve…but I don’t love you?

Praying every night to God asking that your situations don’t get the best of you…but I don’t love you?
Planning out MY future with you in almost every aspect of it…but I don’t love you?

Hunny, if none of this falls under your definition of love then you’re right…I don’t love you.
And I’d hate to see you when you find someone that does ‘love’ you.
