Because

You don't promise
that you can make
my pain go away
and I'm glad you don't lie

You do your best
to make me happy
but you know
you're just taking my mind
off being pissed/upset

You don't know my past
but respect my decision
when i tell you
I'll tell you in the future

You don't want me
to hurt myself
and you make sure I don't
even if I hate you for it

My pain goes away
when you wrap your arms
around me and say
"I love you"

You wipe away my tears
as you hold me close
and do your best
to fight my demons for me

and you let me try
to do the same for you
when your pain and demons
start to pile up

I hope you know
that I love you
with everything I am

You understand
how I am
and why I get scared
and try to pull away

you wait for me
to come back
or sometimes
you come to get me

you understand
why having these feelings
or having feelings at all
scare me

For all these reasons
I love you
and I always will
no matter what the future holds
