Understand

Sometimes you act as though you want to be with me,
And others you don't.
Sometimes you claim you know what I want,
And others you don't.
All I wish is for you to understand.

I wish you could see what I see,
I wish you could feel my feelings,
I wish you could hurt the way I hurt,
And I wish you would love me the way I love you!
but you can't because you don't understand!

Such a sad write, I know how it feels to want that person to listen and understand, To feel what you are feeling and acknowledge you.. You can feel so alone, lost and confused, Needing direction and strength.. I have learned that you can't make a person love you the way you love them but believe that you do deserve to be happy..Examine your relationship, pray and ask God to work on your behalf. He will lead you in the right direction. I wish you all the best, Great Job!! God Bless*Tyesha
