looking back, you never wanted me.
you said you wanted a good democrat to take home to mama.
you wanted a trophy.
i sped all the way to campus.
i'm sure i went over the speed limit.
you couldn't wait one more hour.
i wouldn't say yes.
we had a date, but i couldn't say yes.
you need the answer, don't you?
i have never let another see me naked.
others have taken my clothes, but you took my shield.
i trusted you with my vulnerability.
in the afterglow, i wrapped my arms around you, a hand on your chest.
you made big promises and big plans that we both know you couldn't keep.
i trusted you and told you i'd see you after work.
you said you were so tired.
i offered up a bed, but you said you needed to think.
you always need to think.
i woke up three hours early so i could stop by your room before class.
i wanted to cuddle, you told me to stop it.
i thought you were joking.
the text still lives in my phone.
i didn't want to make it official.
so you didn't want to make it work.
you never wanted me.
you just wanted a status update.
you didn't care who you dated.
you were gonna use me.
i was gonna be the girl you could show mama.
i was gonna be your prize.
it's better that it happened this way.
you are not who i thought you were.
i am not who you wanted me to be.
-hm.
