Don't make me into something.

June 2, 2010

 

Don’t make me into something I’m not. If you do, I’ll never win your heart. Don’t turn me into one of them. I love you more than they ever could. Don’t put words in my mouth. I’ve got different ideas in mind. Don’t put me high on a pedestal, out of reach. I want to hold you. Don’t buy me pretty things or make me lunch. I’ve got all of that already. Don’t cut short or hide away. I’ve got all the time in the world for you. Don’t push me away, or wipe away the feeling. I can see it in your face. Don’t categorize me with those who don’t think or feel. Look at me. Don’t make me into something I’m not. Don’t leave. Give me a chance. Don’t let me down.
