"You asked me what I wanted

and I just laughed,

it was 3 in the morning

what do I want?

a thousand things ran through my head

'I just want to be.' I told you.

But in all honesty?

I want someone to love me

and hold me

and kiss me and tell me

I'm not as horrible as I think I am

and I'm not a shit person

and I want someone to just be with me

and tell me everything

will be okay

and I'm okay.

But instead of saying that,

I said I wanted to just be.

Hook-up and forget

because that's what I deserve

isn't it?"
