pretentious

i guess all i
ever really wanted
or needed
was something simple
to hold onto
and i dont think it would
hurt if it was true too

i guess all i
ever really wanted
or needed
(or will ever wantneed
or could ever wantneed)
is someone who
can hear me
say i am tired
and understand
i dont mean i need a nap
though it should be
understood that i nap a lot
or maybe i want someone
who can say to me
tell me how you feel
and take my words
for what they are
and maybe what i
really truly want
is someone who can
tell me how their day went
minus all the petty b.s.
down into the core
and how they have changed as
a person within the last twelve hours
(its called introspection...)
because i can understand change
and i don't need anyone to stay the same
(i have no intentions of doing so)
i need someone
who will call me on my b.s.
and love me for my truths
and tune me out when necessary
(because half of all the words i say
dont mean a damn thing)

but more than that
i guess all i
wantneed
is not only someone who
i can share with
but who isnt afraid
to share a little too

i guess what im trying to get across
in a pretentious way
is im sorry but
ive disqualified you
and what i mean by that
is youre no good for me
and from now on
ill try not to be so in love with you
