Lyrical Logic

I don’t ever
want to be
a wife
again.
I do think that
I could be
a girlfriend
though.
I want to live
in separate homes
so I can have my space.
I want to go on
cute dates
and to family
holidays and gatherings.
But at the end of the night
I want you to go home
and to sleep in my bed
all alone.
It isn’t you
it’s me.
Because the last man
I let sleep
in my bed
with me
shattered my heart
and it has
never been
the same.
So I don’t want to be a wife.
I don’t want to live together.
I just want to be with you
while still being able
to be me.
