And it's alright 
It's alright 
You're alright
Alright? 
Alright.

You don't have to do a thing 
You don't have a thing to worry
To think 
To talk
To cry about 
Anymore. 

One new date 
And then a pause
And then you realize it's not going 
To happen 
Again

And for the first time
In years. 
Do you feel sick 
For Valentine's Day 
For what the month February becomes
A slut 
A whore
Something unhappy 

Unloveable
Unloved 
Unheard
Intangible

Desperate
Foolish

Alone
Depressed

An extroverted introvert 

And then you love
And you see love 
And you hear love
And you love
But are loved 
But are loved 
But not loved 
Not loved
Not love
It was not love
Never love. 

And it's time for you to pretend 
And pretend again
And pretend again
And pretend again
And to stop pretending
Pretending
Defending
Offsetting 
Depressing 
Debating 
Obsessing 
To stop pretending that everything's alright 
Alright?

And you expose love
Expose happiness 
Expose interest 
Expose your bruised skin
Skin that's been torn and broken and bruised 
And where you died
And rot
And became dust 
But you're alright. 

That shell
That shell she'll never be
That shell she knows she'll never be

Be lonely 
Be sad
Be crying

She 
She unlike any other 
She will be loved
She will be loved and cared for 
And protected 
And happy

And she will be loved 
She will be loved as she is loved
And loved 
And loved
And in love 

Love
Because love
Because she is loved.
