I know why I loved you so much.
You never asked me to love you back.

I remember that night,
you held me close
and in the darkness I could only make out the outlines of your face.
Quietly, you asked if you take care of me always,
no matter what happens between us.
That's when I knew what love felt like.
It was selfless, patient, and unconditional.

But every boy after you
seemed to force me to love them back.
Always asking me for something I can't give.
I can't give myself to anyone.
I belong to me.

But you,
you just wanted to love me.
And then you had me.
