If You Tell Me You Love Me
If you tell me you love me...
Love me not for the color of my eyes,
But for the way they speak-
Love me not for my lips, not for my smile;
Love me for the all the things I smile for-
Love me not because I create art,
But because what I create is art to you-
Love me not because I deserve to be loved,
But because you can't help it...
I don't need to be loved...
But I need to be loved like something real.
