I was in a somewhere desert when I took a questionnaire

it told me my love is possessive and unselfish and feeling sick all over

so probably I’ll buy whatever you might be selling

 

One day, you'll ask me 36 questions  

I'll answer them slanted and careful

I'll hope you won't remember to blink

(for they say two minutes but "four really goes somewhere")

you'll find an excuse to hold my hand

you'll say enough something tender

and then, you'll retreat.

 

what I know is love never really leaves

It's done that to me before

knowing this is easy

like staying with him was too

but at least this time I don't feel too small

though I really shouldn't be doing this

anymore
