Can I Have You
To: Mathew Jackson
I want you,
From your positive to negative,
I want you,
Your heart to your soul,
Your heat to your toes.
I want you
Loving me the way you do
Touching me the way you do
And telling me you love me too
I want you
Your happiness to your anger
Because no matter the emotion it shows you care
I want you
To be mine
From now until the end of time
I want you
To get down on your knee,
Pull out a ring
And say those words, “will you marry me?”
YES
I want you
To love me as much or more than I love you
To love me for me ill do anything you want me to
Can I have you?
Your heart in my hands,
Like a butterfly
Too loose and you will fly away
Too tight and our love may die
Your heart in my hands just right
Can I have you?
For a husband, father, friend and everything between
Can I have you?
Because you will always have me
Even if it takes the rest of my life
I will show you ill always be yours as long as you want me
I’m sorry I left I did learn something though
I learned never again to let you go
Even when we were apart for the years that we were
I thought of you everyday
I figured you had her so you were okay
I remember the thing that made me leave the last time
We were talking on Facebook and I remember this line
I told you something bad happened to me and you said so
You didn’t care to ask if I was ok because you didn’t want to know
You said fuck the world do you remember me asking
“Does that include me?”
You said “honestly yes.” And sent me packing
I thought you didn’t love me anymore I cried for hours that night
So I gave up and I left
But if you would have showed me you still cared I would have left him for you
But I never said that so I couldn’t expect that of you
I dreamed about you
Had false realities on games
I left Facebook because it killed me to see
You loving someone else more than me
My heart died with that Facebook and I left you be
But now that I know, you love me and never wanted me to go
I’m so sorry for leaving I didn’t know
I want you
Can I have you?
All of you if you can
My friend, lover, and man
I hope you say yes but in the back of my mind
I know as long as you still love her you will never be mine.
