inCONsistency

I want you to want me to want you
but I just want to let you go
like a sprinkle is the precursor to rain
like an argument is the catalyst for pain
you’re not quite, not quite my everything
you’re so close, so close to the feeling
like a child wants to grow and yet
when she does all she wants is to go back
You’re so dedicated so determined and true
you’re so over the top the only believer is you
I want you to want me to want you
but I just want to let you go
like the pedestal sitter I said I’d never be
like the last time I fell for the same trickery
You’re the wind that makes me close the door
You’re the lie that I keep aching for
