Love help: i wish i could tell you not to hope for the future without telling you to give up on the present. - Help.com

i wish i could tell you not to hope for the future without telling you to give up on the present.

i love you, babe.
i really think i do.
but what do i know?
i love to hold you,
i love it when you hold me.
i love it when you kiss me and tell me i’m beautiful.
i love it when you act so strange,
in that way of yours which is your own
and only yours, and i tell you to never give that up.
but stop predicting the future, love.

because it’s not going to happen.

stop telling me you’re going to marry me.
stop thinking about our children.
stop saying you want us to live in a beautiful house together.
stop saying you want to belong to me forever.

because i’m falling out of love with you.

so soon, so quick, it comes and goes.
my mind is fast to hold tight in passion
yet it forgets about it soon enough.
i can’t remember if i really loved you.
maybe i was right.
maybe i really can’t love.

things have been nothing but wonderful since i met you
yet i can feel it falling apart
in me, it has nothing to do with you.
you’re just an innocent bystander.
caught up accidentally in my destruction.
i wish i could love you, babe.
love you and be happy with you til the end of time.
but i can’t.
i won’t.
i feel cold.

you’re everything beautiful, love, and you don’t even know it.
you think you’re so broken, but i’ve never seen anything more perfect.
any girl would be lucky to have you
you deserve better than what you’ve been through.
i can’t be the only one to see it.

you shouldn’t love me so much, babe.

i told you people always fail you.
you should have listened to me.
you should have listened!
my doubts and fears stem from the fears within myself.
i’m not trustworthy.
you can’t love me, because i cannot love you.
can i?

i want to hold you and make you feel like you’re complete.
i want to kiss you and tell you everything will be all right.
i want to be yours like you want to be mine.
but my mind is distant.

you shouldn’t need me, babe.
why do you need me?

god, i wish i could love.
i wish i could be yours.
i wish my mind could shut the **** up for once
and let me be.

tonight, i’ll silence my mind again.
push my thoughts to the back of my head.
and tell myself this is love.
i’ll hold you and tell you you’re perfect.
i’ll kiss you until you’re smiling again.
i’ll laugh with you until we’re both out of breath.
and i’ll stay with you until we’re too tired to think of new things to do
and then we’ll go to sleep.
and i’ll watch you a bit and wonder why i have something so wonderful.
and i’ll close my eyes and say i’m in love.
i’m in love.
