For You, I Can'T For You
Wait, it's not supposed to
be like this. This isn't how
it goes. It's all wrong. All wrong.
For you. I'm not supposed to feel this
for you. This emotion isn't supposed
to exist. For you. I can't feel this for you.
It never used to be like this.
It was so different, it was just
supposed to be fun.
It's just lasting too long.
Wait, don't go, I feel....
It's over now, no it never is.
What is this? I don't feel.
I can't feel, not for you.
The feeling is getting deeper.
Slicing me open like a dull knife.
Why does this hurt so much?
For you. I can't feel for you.
Because I can't feel love.
For you. Not for you.
