I'm going to convince him

So I've been talking to this boy
And he's been giving me the butterflies
And I love it

But I need to convince him that there is such a thing as love
... Because he doesn't believe in it

But like I'm really serious about convincing him
And I don't know why....
But like he's totally worth my time
I love talking to him

And I have the sense that there is
So much more complexity to him
Than he's letting on

Do I want him to believe in love?
Because I want him to love me?
Do I want him to believe in love?
So that I can love him...
Or
Do I want him to believe in love?
Because he deserves to have love in his life

I don't know him all that well
To be honest
But he is someone I want to know
I don't really know if there's a little
Hint of affection between us
Or if I just admire his words
I have a hard time telling the difference
Because I romanticize everything

I'm going to convince him
That he can love
I don't know how
And I don't know when
But I will try
And I hope
I will succeed

I love talking to him
I love the butterflies
