The Overthinker

I overthink
I over love
I fall way too hard
If I ever let you in
I’ll show you all of my cards
I expect other people
To see things the way I do
I expect them to love me
The way that I loved you
I need acceptance
I need affection
I need a sense of direction
I need touch
I need hope
I need to know what happens next
If you tell me that you love me
I’ll believe every word you say
Even when you show me
That you don’t love me anyway
Because to me words matter
And promises do, too
Because I would never promise you
Something that wasn’t true
I would never take your heart
And break it into pieces
I treat other people
The way I want to be treated
I take their hearts with care
I mean it when I say
That I will be there
I say what I mean
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I overthink
I over love
I fall way too hard
If I ever let you in
I’ll show you all of my cards
Because I don’t trust easy
And I don’t love in vain
And right now I don’t really know
If I could ever love someone else again…
