:/

I can't shake this pain that resides in my chest.
I hate the remnants of the old me,
And how the new me is still so caring and attached.

I don't want to love, but I know I need to, regardless of the pain it causes me.

Is it really that much to ask for someone to be there for you each and every day,
That you can trust and hold on to,
Without questioning how they feel about you,
Or whether they lie or hide behind a wall all the time.

I wish for so little and yet it means so much to me.

Please, I just want love.
