Love Me Now

who will love me now? i'm nervous that when the time comes i won't be able to get over you. it's creeping up and you said you're moving on and this time you'll be gone for good. it's been said before but it's been a month now since you've held me. you're creeping through the city looking for anyone who wants you and i want you. who will love me now? because it's getting hard to act human and you aren't here to pinch me back into reality. the worst part is how i understand why someone like you would run from someone like me. when i met you i thought that you'd be easy and you'd always want to please me because my head wasn't on right and i thought i was better than myself. foolish and young with a THC lung and the need to over value my love. i can't even tell if i'm me anymore, i used to be the sweetest girl with a head full of laughter and a quiet pride in knowing i had nothing to hide. who's in the mirror and why does she look thinner than the stranger here just yesterday? she looks so familar but i can't put my finger on where i must have seen her. either way, it's only today and tomorrow will bring new faces. who will love me now? when we started i was so thankful that somebody wanted to stay. now i'm just thankful to stay away because i know what it means to love you and how much i'd need to pray just to not lose myself in you. this time it feels like the end.
