What do you want from me?
What do you really want?

Is it a friendship?
A partnership?
A lover?
A confidant?
A crutch?
A kick?
Or a one night stand?

Do you know the difference
Between any of these?

Would you permit yourself
To be truly honest
Within yourself
Against fear, convention
And answer the question?

Try as I did
You could not be honest
With yourself
Then or now
Perhaps later
You will

But then
It may be
Too late
For us
Both
