Don’t tell me lies

The other girls wanted to hear.

Since when have I ever been like them?

Wanting to be whispered sweet nothings in my ear,

Wanting to be given flowers whenever.

Loving me is like breathing.

Just be there and I am satisfied.

Please me like you do your lungs;

Breathe me in and regret letting me go,

Fear that you will never see me again.

Tell me you love me

And you don’t want to be without me.

But don’t lie to me

Don’t tell me you would rather die,

Than be without me,

That I am the only one

That you and I are forever.

I never asked for that.

I only asked for you to breath in my shampoo,

To listen to my heart beat,

To hear you say,

‘I love you.’

Nothing more, nothing less.
