He loves you, 

But he can’t commit 

Because “Loving you

Could mean Losing you”


He loves you not, 

But your phone lights up 

With his name 

Asking how you are


He loves you,

But can’t utter the words

Because his parents showed him

That love hurts those closest to you 



He loves you not,

But he’s the first hug

Holding you tight when the air 

Is caught in your aching lungs


He loves you,

But he’s his first priority,

Forgetting your actions

To always meet his needs


He loves you not, 

But has memorized your body 

And every way it melts 

Under his reassuring touch 



He loves you, 

But wants you to wait 

Till he’s ready to settle down, 

"And now is not the time"


He loves you not, 

But craves your admiration, 

Feeling safe in the security 

Of knowing your loyalty  


He loves you, 

But he doesn’t need you 

Like you have sworn 

You need him 



And soon there are no 

More petals to pluck  

And whether "He loves you"

Or "He loves you not", 

You have found yourself stripped 

Of the petals that defined you.
