Not understanding

Why do you love someone who cannot love you the way you want them to?

Is there any point?

See him run everytime you need him most.

I wonder how could I be so brave to love someone who does not love me to the same degree that I love him.

Or is it how could I be so cowardly to attempt to start fresh.

I don’t understand why.

I know he loves me. I know he does. And he’s not one to lie. And unlike my past boyfriends, I have never heard an unkind word about this one now.

But why can’t he just be there for me?
