Smiling like a fool, you reach out for me,
Unless you really mean it go ahead and hold me,
I looked out the window expecting to see unfamiliar faces,
Expecting unhappy and angry reactions from different places,
Just to check and figure out what’s real from a fantasy,
I’m scared to be swept off far from reality,
I have nothing against fairy tales for I am a child trapped in a woman’s body,
But I cannot act or play a role only for the entire world to see,
I want and I deserve a peaceful unbroken family,
Where both our priority is you and me,
Some people think expectations are harmless traits,
But you have no idea of the disaster it brings, the brokenness it makes,
Loving someone is not like wrapping them in little gift with perfect bow ties,
Or else you’ll end up fooling yourself and live a complete lie.
Everyday should be a wonderful journey, discovering the person we both ought to be,
Do not posses nor control me, I will also let you fly freely,
Let’s just simply be with each other and communicate effectively,
I’ll be your strength when you are weak, you’ll be my voice when I can’t speak,
Growing old together is what we both should seek, not a love affair ending in a week,
So do not start what you cannot finish, don’t serve the entree if you will not stay for the main dish,
It’s the only thing I ask of you, my inner most deepest wish,
So go ahead be frank while nobody’s watching, definitely it will wound me but only for awhile,
Rather than keeping me in the dark with your smile, and watch all the lies mount up in a pile,
I will simply wipe my tears away, don’t worry I’ll take all the responsibility as I watch you walk away,
With no regrets I’ll tell myself it’s okay, I’ll get over you one of these days, then laugh sadly as I heaved, it was brave of me to fall in love anyway.
