Why It Will Never Last...

1

Because he will say

That you are beautiful.

And you will believe him

And your heart will pump

That little faster

And your face will flush

Because you have never been told that before.

2

Because he knows

How much you need to hear it

And maybe-

In that moment he means it.

But tomorrow

You will argue

And he will say awful things

And your heart will pump that little faster

And your face will flush

Because you have never been spoken to like that before.

3

Because he doesn’t know

How to love you

And you do not know

What you are worth

And you both think

You can carry on like this

forever.
