I want you to tell me to stop looking
To tell me you are right here
I want you to tell me you love me
So Bad
I say it to myself over and over
I love you, I say
I love you
I love you, little girl
I love you
I take me in my arms and kiss my eyes
I caress my face, my hand on cheek
I love you, I say
But I don't believe me
Either.
