IF YOU WANT LOVΞ

Olivia's View

Even though Y/n assured me that she would never hurt me, I still feel like something's up.

"Why haven't you been calling me?" Y/n asks.

"I just needed some time to think." I say.

I just need some time, I'm tryna think straight
I just need a moment in my own space

"You okay?" Y/n asks.

"I'm fine." I say.

Ask me how I'm doin', I say "okay," yeah
But ain't that what we all say?

"Yes, you are." Y/n says.

I laugh and she smiles.

"You wanna talk about it?" Y/n asks.

"Yeah." I say.

"Let go upstairs, I live with a nosy bitch." Y/n says going upstairs.

"Fuck you." Rouge says in the background.

Y/n laughs and shuts the door behind her.

"What's up?" She asks.

"Do you ever think about when you were younger?" I ask.

Sometimes I think back to the old days
In the pointless conversations with the old me

"Yeah, I mostly think about when my mom was around." Y/n says.

Yeah, back when my momma used to hold me

I slowly nod and twiddle my thumbs.

"We can talk whenever you're ready. Call me then, okay?" Y/n says.

"I love you." Y/n says.

"I love you too." I say.

She hangs up and I sigh.

30 minutes later...

"I don't see what the big deal is. You know Y/n is faithful." Mom says.

"I just constantly feel like that was just an excuse and that she is cheating." I say.

I wish somebody woulda told me
If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain

"I know you have these "barricades" up but you need to get rid of them. You've done so much for Y/n and she's promised you that she wouldn't break your heart." Mom says.

If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change

"Just because other relationships have gone, doesn't mean you shouldn't trust her. If you want trust, you have to trust. That's the only way a relationship will be successful." Mom says.

If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
If you want love, if you want love

"You know, when you were younger, you were always so impatient. You always said life was moving too slow and needed to catch up." Mom says.

Yeah, as a kid I used to think life
Is moving so slow, I watch it go by

"You thought that the world was small so how could it be moving so slow?" She says.

Look out the window on my bus ride
I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes

"You try to control every situation and that is what controls you. You think Y/n is cheating when you know deep down that she would never do that." She says.

I've always tried to control things
In the end that's what controls me
Maybe that's why I'm controllin'

"Love is not easy, it never has been and it never will be. Each person you're with is so different from the last and you have to adapt if you really want them." She says.
