Why don't I believe in love?
Because the deeper I feel it
the more it scares me.
But I'll face my fear
because I want to love and to be loved.
It would be so cool to be in real love.
Romantic love...

I tell her how I feel.
Stupid thing to do.
Shouldn't have done that.
She feels the same thing,
at least the fear anyway.

She isn't sure if she wants to face it.
I've been through this before;
"I love you,
you love me,
but I can't handle it.
It's too intense," she said.

How can you love someone too much?
I ask myself that,
not her.
I don't have an answer,
so I try and forget the question.
So anyways, back to believing in love.
Why should I?
How many times must I listen to a woman say
that I am special, unique, real man
only to hear her sputter next
"I feel too much for you."
HAH!
Do you think I want to hear that?
Say I'm a jerk, and I don't know how to treat a woman.
Dump me because I don't deserve you
or at least make me think that.
Don't tell me you don't deserve me or you love me too much.

Flat out.
If we both want to be together,
but you feel we need to be apart,
then punish us for being wrong.
Not for being right.
