ANYWAY
I understand your frustrations
I know my words are of no value to you;
They tend at time to be far less valuable to me,
But I must love me.
If I wait to be loved
I would be waiting
And waiting…
And wait!
I must love me.
As a friend once said:
“Every body has an agenda”
In the name of being your _____,
You want me to give you…
Love you
Sex you
But at no time do you care what I expect
Or how I feel.
We are not one,
We are and have been two or more.
So, I’ve come to this conclusion, I must love me.
I grow weary
Of the search;
Waiting,
Hoping,
Even silently begging for –
I must love me.
You don’t talk to me
But at me,
Then get an attitude if I talk to anyone else.
You touch my body
But you don’t touch my soul…
I must love me.
A legal love affair;
Then I’ll love you
ANYWAY
