Going through the motions

I like you.
Care about you.
I look into your eyes,
You love me.
I like you.
Care about you.
But I can’t love you.
I try.
Year after year,
I like you.
Care about you.
But I will never be able to love you.

The part of me that loves was never in me.
Never a part of who I am.
I can care.
I can’t love you.
