Girl, listen to your mother

He says that he loves you, but he can never say why. He says he only has eyes for you, but turns and looks every time another girl walks by. You think that you love him so much that you can hardly breathe. Not realizing it is because he has pressed up against your neck, his knee. He says that he loves you and wants to spend his lifetime with you, the true love that he has found. Yet, how many times do you find yourself alone, calling everywhere for him and he is nowhere around. You keep trying to pretend that you are happy, but your friends know you can't be with him, treating you so bad. How many times has he forgotten special occasions, and you smile at them saying no problem when they can tell that you're mad. He keeps saying how much he loves you and he wants to marry you, but now is not the right time. Knowing every time he says this, you get a feeling that one day he is going to walk out and leave you behind. I know how much you love him, but the question is does he love you? Cause if he did, then why does he keep treating you the way you allow him to?
