i don't think i'm asking for too much
i just want the feelings to be mutual
i want them to be reciprocated
i want to feel special to you
the same way you feel to me
but it's nowhere near what i want
it's impossible for you to move on
so stare deep into my eyes
and tell me it wasn't worth it
you clearly don't know how
here we stand on two separate pedestals
the height of yours destroys my ego
my frailty will get the best of me
and like glass, i'll shatter
but only for so long
my pieces will find their way back to each other
they derive of the same emotion: love
but what is love
is it my selfishness taking the best of me
or is it the poisoned chalice of my heart
i guess some questions are better left unanswered
so for now, i want you.
i want you to pull me closer
i want you to grab me tight
i want you to lean in and tell me who i am
not to anybody else but you
