Take me. . .
Envelop me into your light
And please mold me into a creation of your own liking
Please make me yours
These are the thoughts I had when I first met you. . .

I wanted to love you. . .
I loved you since before I even knew what love was
Since before I even knew how to love myself
Back when I didn’t even know myself
We’ve been playing this cat and mouse game
Since before Tom met Jerry
And before Jerry had curls
If that makes any sense

And for what?

For you to walk around in his arms like some sort of trophy?
Is that all I am to you?
Is this all I’ll be to you?
A forgotten memory?

You were supposed to be mine forever
As I was to be yours
But nah, that would’ve made things too simple
Because you were too “big time” for small minded boys Like me.
You needed more than just love and attention
You needed another guy
Instead of letting me know that it was over
But that’s cool

And looking back, I can see how I let you get so deep into my head
I was just so green
I wasn’t ready for the world of love
But I followed you to the ends of the stars
Because you asked me to
And now,
I’m here,
Alone

I was just too green

I should’ve seen the signs
You obviously weren’t happy
I mean you couldn’t be
Even though when I asked you
You’d said you loved me
Even though I knew I loved “we,”
I mean us
Well I’m just guessing that love wasn’t enough

I was just too green
