“Do You Really?”

Do you really?

How far would you be willing to go?

How much could you show?

When you say you love me,

Tell me what does that mean?

Is it really how you feel?

Or is it you being polite in some kind of way?

And not being real..

I thought that I knew love

Yet I don’t

I’m not sure what it actually is

But it’s something I want..

But finding when I want a thing

Whatever this is

I never get

It’s just how it is..

You see

The problem is not that I’m loved

The problem is that me doing the loving

It’s so very nice to be loved

And I thank all those that do here and from above

But it’s better for the person who is giving the love

How far would you go?

Do you really love me?

Do you really?

You see it doesn’t really matter

This I know

For I’ve traveled afar for love

But that wasn’t enough to show

So enough is not enough

It’s getting rid of the doubt

And letting it all out

Getting rid of any expectations

Just simply relating

And being content

In the word called peace

For that’s the only release

And stop the doubts

Of you’re family and friends

But uplift them

Then there will be

No more sentences called

Do you really?
