I can't imagine
Loving anyone
The way I love you
I could
But I don't want to
Because nobody
Loves me
The way you do
Nobody holds me close
Even when I'm sick
Nobody kisses my forehead
Even after I've thrown up
Nobody holds my clammy hands
In the August heat
Nobody sits through my rants
Time and time again
Nobody makes love to me
Even with underboob sweat
Nobody likes to look at me
Just for the sake of looking at me
Nobody loses sleep
Staying up with me after my nightmares
Nobody laughs at all my jokes
Even when they're not funny
Nobody plans a life with me
Even though tomorrow isn't promised
Nobody stays on the phone for hours
When I feel suicidal
Nobody validates my heartache
When I don't know why it hurts
Nobody gives me the world
When I'm stripped of everything
Nobody else is like you
I've said "I love you"
To a lot of people
An endless stream
But I've only meant it once
And that was
Whenever I've said it to you
