A Chapter Named C

what if

you wanted me last night
you asked me to stay then
"come to bed, it's too late to drive"
but i didn't come prepared
i didn't have what i needed
and today...
it was decided before he began
can i see you again tonight?
"sure thing, for a little while
i want to have at least a little bit
of this night to myself"
if i kept kissing you
if i didn't push you away
if i didn't tell you to stop
would you have asked me to stay?
