I know that he actually loves you.
Yes, there’s lots of things that are going wrong.
In a relationship, there will be few
Downs but plenty ups, but it will go on.
I know you like the way he loves on
You, or the way that he gives you that look,
But don’t worry because he won’t be gone
For long, he’s just going to bait that hook.
He might tell you about all your flaws.
And I know you will not agree with it.
Just keep scratching those walls with your sharp claws
We just need to give in a little bit
You are going to be depressed by this
But you just need to give him a big kiss.

I was inspired to write this for a school project. While doing writing it, it actually turned into my love life. It sounds crazy but it was based off of my relationship

I'm glad I could discribe it(: And I'm glad I'm not the only one that has been in this kind of relationship. It's hard to be in these kinds of relationships. Some times you just gotta write it down.
