Not Another Love Game

I don’t want to play a game.

I don’t want to play hard to get.

I don’t want to wait to respond to your message

Or not answer when you call the first time.

 I just want to be myself.

& do what comes naturally,

even if that means liking you,

even if that means kissing you.

Even if that means it’s too much, too soon.

Yea, I miss you as soon as you walk away.

Yes, I think of you all day.

And I do stare at my phone sometimes hoping I’ll hear from you.

And when i do hear from you, I can’t wait to see you again, to kiss you again, and hold you again.

And that doesn’t mean I’m desperate.

It doesn’t mean I don’t have a life.

It doesn’t mean I’m crazy.

It doesn’t mean I can’t find another man.

It just means I wouldn’t trade you for another man.

It just means I like you.

I miss you.

I want you.

And I don’t want to act like I don’t, in order for you to want me the way I want you.

Let me stand naked, vulnerable, honest and enraptured in you.

Let me show you how happy you make me.

Let me lay beside you and share my incompleteness with you.

Take me that way,

in all my possessiveness,

in all my insecurity,

in all my imperfection

or walk away from me now, before it’s too late

because I don’t think I can take another heart break.
