uneasy

i wouldn’t say it’s love

but it’s something close to that

i’d never wanna see you hurt

i just want you to be happy

and i wanna be the reason

behind that smile

i wouldn’t say it’s love

i don’t think i’d cry when you leave me

but i’d be pretty devastated

and close myself off for while

until i’m back to normal again

i know i’ll be just fine

i wouldn’t say it’s love

but it’s also not because i’m lonely

i’m alright on my own

i love being alone

and there are people i can talk to

i don’t think i really need you

but as much as i wouldn’t say it’s love

i want you

the good parts and the bad parts of you

the things you’re too afraid to say to any other soul

the songs you sing when no one’s watching

the jokes you tell and can’t stop laughing about

the dreams you’re so passionate about

the books you’d read again and again

the words you pronounce differently from the way i do

the tears, the fears, the hurting

the long talks late at night when

you’re awake but slightly sleeping

i want every little thing about you

so, no, i wouldn’t say it’s love

but it’s something close to that
