you are not my property

when we hold our hands tonight i want to…
as we hold our hands tonight i want you…
i want you to say you love me not because it is appropriate
but because you mean it.
as you write sweet nothings in the palm of my hand
for me to indulge in
let that not be just a dance by your fingers
but a message from a place you did not know existed in your heart
loving me should not be a duty
it is not a game that you should be playing
it is loving me and taking care of me
when you feel that i have became a burden
do not stick it in for the sake of love for when love stops loving
loving can not live
loving me is not a duty to be fulfilled
it is a choice
it is not a death sentence
but a contract that can be terminated when ever the going gets tough
love me because you love me not because i love you
so tonight as we hold our hands i want you to love me
or let me go
