I'm trying to hold myself back,
From falling so fast.
I don't want to say that I love you,
But I really like you a lot.

I fall for people easily,
It's just one of my weaknesses.
Every time I ended up falling for someone,
I always seemed to get hurt.

You don't have to promise that you won't hurt me,
Because honestly,
I'm not so sure I'll fully believe you.

I've been through this shit before,
I've gotten so close to someone,
Told them that I loved them,
They ditched me too quick for me to realize it in the end.

I'm not looking for someone to love,
You just make me feel so great.
Honestly,
When you move away from me,
Because you're mom's there,
I'd wish she'd go away,
So that you could hold me again.

To be completely honest,
I love that you're around and that you haven't gotten bored of me...yet,
But I do believe that you will,
And if you prove me wrong..
Well, I might know you're true.

I love it when you smile,
Because obviously it makes me smile.
I like that you're gentle,
But can handle whatever comes your way.

Anyway,
I just wanted to say thanks.
Thank you for being my friend.
Thank you for being around.
Thank you for not ditching me,
Even if it's only been a few weeks...
Or a month..
