The first boy I ever loved
told me I wasn't good enough
so I nearly killed myself
trying, trying so hard to be
perfect
but obviously I couldn't be perfect
so I tried to kill myself for real
the next boy I loved didn't love me
he hurt me in ways I can't say
and nobody believed me
because he was
special
and I wasn't worth the effort
so I tried to die again
you.
you make me feel
beautiful
special
important
worth the effort
I don't need to be perfect with you
but I'm hardened against love
I'm afraid to fall again
so I can't say it
I'm sorry
I can't say
"I love you"
