Playing Games

Something that I don't always understand. If only I could figure this out. Maybe then my mind will stop playing these games with me...

Why is it you always have to play with my head
You tell me one thing
Then you tell me another
You act as though you never care
But, I know you do
You call me mean
You make me sad
Just because I say I love you
You act as though I've just destroyed the world
How can me saying something so simple hurt you so?
Do you want me to explain it?
Do you want me to tell you I love it when you smile
I love it when you laugh
I love it when it looks as though you're sneaking looks at me
I love how you make me laugh
I love how you make me smile
I love how you can make me feel happy even when i feel my saddest
I love how you seem to love me... even if it might not be true
I love how you like my teasing
How you actually listen to me
How you care about how I feel
How... I don't mean property to you
That you call me dear... even though it's not often
That you like how i call you hun
So why can you not take this simple I love you
When it means so much more

Author's Note

This is something extremely personal. It might sound simple and repeated often but it is the way i have been feeling for a while and needed to write it somewhere.
