Love taught me to make the wrong choices
Love taught me words I never wanted to hear
Love taught me about secrecy
Love taught me so much fear
Love taught me the advantages of not having to feel
Love taught me where to hide
Love taught me of the hurt that makes pain real
Love taught me how to cry inside
Love taught me to doubt myself
Love taught me to keep my mouth shut
Love taught me it's close to hate
Love taught me to be scared enough
So maybe we can start with friendship
and you can teach me about it
You could learn me to feel in slowmotion
so I won't feel the urge to run away from it
