I don’t think I want love,
I think I just don’t want to feel alone anymore…
Someone who stands beside me
when the world feels loud and unknown.
Because why do they stare at me like that?
why do their eyes feel like questions I never asked?
I shrink in places I’m supposed to grow,
and smile through thoughts that cut too fast.
I want someone who notices…
not just when I shine,
but when I’m sitting in silence,
losing battles inside my mind.
Take me somewhere I don’t feel watched,
sit with me when I can’t breathe right,
hold my overthinking gently,
stay through my lowest night.
When I say I feel too much, too heavy,
tell me it’s just a passing phase,
when I doubt my skin, my face, myself,
look at me like I’m still worth praise.
I don’t want perfect love,
I just want it to be real…
a little protective, a little soft,
something I can finally feel.
Be there in my struggle, not just my glow,
choose me before I become someone to know.
Because I’m tired of being everything alone,
tired of searching for comfort I’ve never been shown.
So tell me…
am I just looking for someone
to quiet a loneliness
that never leaves?
