I don’t want you back. Instead: Give me back every compliment ever given, Every whispered time I uttered that four lettered word, And meant it. Give me back the hours together doing nothing but enjoying each other’s company. I want those instead. Because if I had them back… Then maybe I’d be willing to give them, to someone else. But you have them. You have them all.
