I know you’ve become numb
to pain and also to love.
When a person has seen
the things that you have,
it’s impossible not to
let it make you indifferent.
But I know you’re different
than all the others;
and in this truth I confide
because I want to be with you.
I don’t want to be without you.
We can save each other;
I just know it.
Me from my selfishness,
you from being taken
advantage of because of
your selflessness.
