Because You Never Showed Me

Kind
Patient
Limitless.
That’s what love is supposed to be.
But I wouldn’t know that,
Because you never showed me.

Supportive
Caring
Protective.
That’s what a partner is supposed to be.
But I wouldn’t know that,
Because you never showed me.

Gentle
Passionate
Pleasing.
That’s what a lover is supposed to be.
But I wouldn’t know that,
Because you never showed me.

Now I’m learning on my own,
And it’s hard for me to see
That this is what life,
Happiness,
Is supposed to be.
But I wouldn’t know any of that,
Because you never showed me.
