all my life
people have told me
that i would find
the one
someone who loves me
and respects me
unconditionally
i believed them
i was patient
and one day
i found you
you loved me
and respected me
unconditionally
and you did everything right
you were perfect
but i still couldn't love you
i wish i could
but i couldn't
and i hated myself for that
because you deserve to be loved
the way you loved me
