Equals

You keep telling me
we should be equal
in our relationship
but I don't see how that could work
you're a better person than I
you haven't made my mistakes
until you do
we'll never be equal
but thats not such a bad thing
really it could be good
I love you
and you love me
and that is whats important
we're equal in that
so relax
chill out
we're as equal as we can be
at least for the moment
you've given me a second chance
and trusted me no to fuck it up
and that means the world to me
I don't want you to get hurt
but I'm afraid that what will happen
because I'm just a fuck up
a mistake
you tell me thats not true
but how can I believe you
when you contradict what
I've been told for my whole life
I want to
please believe that
I just don't know how to
Maybe if you say it enough
I'll start to believe it
