"if you can think, and not make thoughts your aim" - Rudyard Kipling


She said she appreciates me
A guy that she can't see
A man that broke her heart

Yet she appreciates me
All I bring is deceive
Nothing in the world I deserve to receive

Yet she said she appreciates me
For I only have the title "baby"
I'm her boyfriend, but I guess I got lucky

She said she appreciates me
Lucky to be me
Right?
Someone that can't come to see her daily
Someone that can't bring food and go to the beach and make her happy

She said she appreciates me
But I make it worst
I make it where she finds herself having to force
Force because she doesn't love me but she has to put up
Force because the only way she could only stay with me if this is a open relationship...for her, that's an up
Still, it's all because of her pity for me

She said she appreciates me
Yet we have conversations, repeated conversations
We can't think of much when talking
Maybe, it's because of my action
Maybe I didn't hear her when she was calling
Maybe she waited for me at the station
But all she saw was me passing by and driving
Maybe she loved me
But now she refuses to, in order to be free

She said she appreciates me
She don't say she love me
But she try to not ruin the conversation, not anymore

She said she appreciates me
Enough to stay with me because she wants me to heal
But after I heal...what happens?
 


The author's comments:

during the time when i was going through a hard period with my girlfriend, it was as if she did not want the relationship to go any further. So one day i woke up and ask her "why do you put up if you dont want thid relationdhip?" her answer was simply "I appreciate you."
