I want him
to be mine
simple and unconventional
nothing the world hasn't heard before

I want him
but he says no

I want him
but in a drunken jealous rage
i slapped his face
i cursed his name
i hid in the shade

I want him
but he says no
its the wrong time
its the wrong place
I slapped his face I crossed the line
the past cannot be erased
I have scars he says
no space to be hurt again
I ask him,
where is the room for healing
where is the room for breathing?

I want him
but he says I want to be selfish

Well I want to be selfish
I want him to be mine
