Because...

How am I supposed to feel,

when your family can't talk around me.

How am I supposed to feel,

when your sister says you're around me too much.

How am I supposed to feel,

when your mom says I'm using you.

HOW AM I,

supposed to feel,

when I don't know what your family is saying,

when I'm not around.

How...

do I not get ahead of myself...

and think,

that these seemingly wonderful people,

absolutely hate me,

but are too afraid to tell you.

Because you say you're happy,

Because you say you're in love.

Because you say,

"She makes me smile just by walking into the room"

OR

"She makes me feel important"

I can't help but think,

That they'll never let their true feelings be known,

because they're afraid to hurt you.

But I'll sit here waiting for you to call me back for hours on end...

Because I love you.
