I’ve longed for the kind of love that makes me sentimental.

But until I met you, I never knew a touch so gentle.

I wish I could explain.

Though I don’t want to complain…

How a person could be so romantic,

Without using manipulative tactics?

True love’s strange, but it’s the most beautiful thing that can grow.

And abuse hurts, but at least it’s familiar though.

I miss the hugs I used to tense up at as I sleep alone tonight.

But maybe someday I can learn…

How to love you right.
