Perhaps you should have stopped to ask.
When I professed my love under the stars, waiting for a big moment you wouldn't forget
and then proceeded to say the same exact thing on mundane days
you should have noticed and stopped me.
And you should have asked 'why me?'

Had you asked me then,
what I loved about you
I would have given myself a minute or two
to make sure everything that was coming out my mouth was true.

But you took it no questions asked.
I guess you made no mistake,
this was how one loved another.
And for you have been loved properly
with that same love you are familiar with,
you expected it out of me.

Oh, if only you asked 'why do you love me?'

Perhaps I would have told you I fell for something different
though it has been said you see in a person what's already inside you,
what I don't like about me, is the reason why I love you.

I love you?

Do I love you?
For I don't like the voices in my head,
that's the reason I turn to talk to you.
Had you asked,
and had I told you this,
would you still have considered my love as something authentic,
as something true?
Do I love you?

Can I love?
For I haven't been introduced with myself yet
is love something I can give and have?

Can you love me?
For I assume you would need some knowledge to do that,
have you met me properly?
Darling, do you love me?

But most importantly,
do I love you?
For I would need to feel it in the first place
so I can give it back to you.

I know love needs no reason
but perhaps you should have asked.
You should have asked me.
Maybe then I would have realized inorder to love you
I needed to love me.

【Day 25: I repeat, stop confusing love with low self worth.】
