Ask me again
If I would leave
At seventeen
To be with you
Just because you loved the way I laugh
Just because the summer days
Made you silly

Ask me again
Because you were the first person
To make me feel beautiful
And kissed my insecurities
Right off of my champagne soaked skin
Hold me and sing me trovas to silence the voices of anxiety
Ask me to leave
My perfect life
Just because I made you feel young again
Just because I reminded you of what could have been
With someone else

Ask me one more time
If I would play somebody else's role
Whether I would trade my freedom
For comfort
Love
Ask me this time
Because after you left
I found something that belonged to you
To us
That made me see what you dreamed of
A life that only we could give to each other

Ask me this time
And I will say yes
