I Don't Want....

I don't want

To pretend

To have feelings I don't

To be someone I'm not

 

I don't want

To go another day without you

Even if your face

Isn't the one I thought I knew

 

I don't want

To wear that fake smile

That mouth isn't mine;

It never was

 

I don't want

My life to spiral downward

Or at least

Not any farther than it already has

 

I don't want

To explain my problems

For once

I just want you to know

 

I don't want

 A fake, "It'll get better."

I just want your arms around me

Telling me we'll make it through

 

I just want you
