You want me

 

 

If you did not like me

I guess I could understand

Then I could let you go

Without all this yearning

 

If I could believe you

That I am not

That you do not

Still want me

 

If I did not feel

Your caring

Your thoughts of concern

I could leave you behind

 

But I know you want me

Because it shows

In the way you ask me

What is new with you?
