Do I want the happy spouse and white picket fence?

Or do I want the adventure and the chance to leave before I am left?

Ive seen the way you look at me.

I know it isnt an accident.

I know everything about this is wrong.

I dont know why my head tries to play games with me.

But any relationship involves two people.

And I would be lying if I said I wasnt dying to be one of them.

I dont know what it is about you that captivates me so much.

I think it is the touch of the forbidden that draws me in.

The game we play of lingering looks and half-smiles.

The way you almost touched my hand when we walked down the stairs.

But maybe I am not as good of a person as I portray myself to be.

Maybe it is true that you attract whatever it is that you put out into the universe.

Maybe I keep getting hurt because at my core, all I really want is to leave.

Except, I always care.

Because deep down, I know I can never actually have you.

I mighthaveyou, but you will never actuallybemine.

And I think not belonging to anyone or anything is all I have ever wanted.

You might be all that I have ever wanted.

So tell me, do you want me, too?
