What to want

How can I think I'm not interested when my heart betrays me

by flying when you catch my eye?

(my cowardice keeps me away)

You exhaust me but I can't resist your pull.

(fear? keeps me timid, not my nature)

I want you to drift away but I can't seem to let go.

(my body is a traitor)

I never dreamed of you 'til you stopped speaking to me.

(i don't even know what to want)
