A year ago if you had asked me about love

I would have told you I didn't give a damn

Back then nothing mattered

I was going to live and die alone

That much I knew

I knew I was a monster

No one could love a monster

Then you came

And everything changed

With that idiotic smile plastered on your face

That cheery spirit nothing could damper

Those compassionate words that you always spoke to me

You spoke to me

All of me

Do you understand how unfair that is?

You speak to me so sweetly

Smile at me so beautifully

It makes me start to think

Of thoughts of which I have no right to think

That maybe even I

The Monster

Have a chance at love

You saw me and yet you didn't run

You were scared and you stayed with me

What's the matter with you?

Why do you do this?

Why do I love you?

I know I'm not worthy

I'm not worth your time

Yet you still call to me

And smile at me

You bring me joy

You light up the darkness

I have so little time left

It's just not fair

I won't burden you

I'll just enjoy what I have now

Because later I won't have that

I won't have you

Just the memory of that smile

And the idea that maybe

You could love me too
