Say You Love Me

It’s easy to get in your head and have doubts about everything when things seem to always go wrong. I understand the choices I’ve made and why I don’t let everyone in. Then, sometimes I get to the point where I don’t wanna feel like I have to go it alone. I can’t always be strong. I want to be loved and encouraged in those moments where I don’t feel strong enough to do it on my own. But my defense is telling myself that there are more important things than having someone along for the ride or being loved, and that whether I sink or swim is all up to me. It’s exhausting but it’s better than being let down. It’s easier than having to forgive myself for breaking my own heart.
