Believe in me.
Like I believe in you.
Are you scared to be alone?
We’re not the same. We’re different.
You know everything about me.
But It’s still not enough for me
Even when I pour my heart out I feel so out of reach
I have your continuous love and support
You’re such a dream to me
So I got to go now
I’ll hide the love letters I never sent
and you keep the vulnerable thoughts you never gave me.
