i'm not the one.

simply because I don't want to be, new chick old space.

lips, covering a spot that was permanently meant for someone else.


you tell me the truth, but not right away.

you're elusive, after i told you - i need to be able to trust you.

you talk so slow, I wonder if you're just looking for me to reassure you.


i don't have the answer-

that's why i asked the question.

why are you looking at me like that, sizing me up.

before you say, what you inevitably will say.


why is every statement soaked in caution?

are you scared of me?

are you shy, insecure, unsure?

don't you know who i am at all?


i gave like i never gave before, no regrets.

it felt good, i would do it again.

maybe next life, when we meet - new friends.


you say, for a long time.

i ponder, relativity.


i gave you my time, my heart, my body.

taken, taken, taken.


so much weight now on your side now.

we don't walk in step anymore.


i think we should part. You go your way and I mine.

i'll say i think you are insincere, but really you make me sick.

and i don't want to be your girl anymore.


i'm not the one.

simply because i can't wait for you to say what you want.

because i don't know if you deserve me anymore.

because i don't want to contemplate what you are thinking, and didn't act on.

because i don't want to live recapping four months ago.



who has a life to throw, wondering.
