I fear that you’ll leave me… Because you’ll realize I’m not worth it and although I try, it’s just “worth less” than what another man can offer you. You constantly excuse me like a tissue but one day your unsatisfaction will be an issue. I’m hurting on the inside with that as a possibility and it’s clouding my vision, making it tough to see clearly. I know I want you but I want you to be happy and sometimes I fear that love story doesn’t include me…
