i love you but

What if you don't love me enough to make me love myself?

You work for hours and leaving your phone off
After all the dangerous thing you've done
I can still wait for you to call
But

I'm not the kinda girl who waits at home with served dinner
If you want me to leave the school for your child
Looking good everyday for you to like

I'm not going to be the one you want
But I can make you feel comfortable when you come home
After all the shifts I can still laugh your stupid jokes
I can make you forget all the pain you had
But
I won't wait at home with served dinners
I might leave at night if a client calls
"We need you up here you gotta arrive"
I can kiss your forehead before i leave but
You might not see me when you woke up
But no matter what
I'll come home
I'll be in your arms
No matter how tired I am
Even there are books for me to finish for other day
I'll read while laying on your chest

Would you accept?
I can't wait at home and cook you good food
But
I swear I'll be your home to feel safe
Even though i confuse what is day or night
I'll be your daylight anytime you want
Even though I fight with the moon in my mind

Can you make your relationship work when the people you love don't always fit your lifestyle and desires?

[Everett Dulin]

Unfortunately sometimes people are too different or want different things. Never settle for anything less than your happiness. Focus on what you love and yourself, someone will come.
