Complications
Would you be offended
If we were going too fast?
if the adrenaline rush
was steering off path?
Would you be annoyed
if I had to wait?
If I didn't know yet
if I wanted to date?
And what if I say
that I don't want you back?
If I turn this around,
if I go off-track?
Would you still like me
if I just wanted to be friends?
Do we have to be typical?
Why follow social trends?
And if I just want a hug
would you take it badly?
Will you be nice
or will I leave sadly?
And can we go to the movies
without making out?
Can we just sit in
if I want to sit out?
And what will happen
with the pressure from others?
Will you still be mature
or make jokes about mothers?
Can I trust you to be
a faithful friend?
or will you be bitter
and make this the end?
If I made a mistake
and want to be done
can we still be cool?
Can we still have fun?
And if I wanted to stop
before it even began
would you call me a coward
and say that I ran?
And if I'm inexperienced
and you wanted to know
would you laugh in my face?
Would you let it show?
Can I be open
but not get hurt?
Can you be brief
but not be curt?
Would you cut me off
if I'm not al in?
I have so much to say -
where do I begin?
My feelings are jumbled
but one and the same
I'm sick of this pointless
silly old game
I suppose when I'm ready
I'll let you know.
But until that happens
don't make us a show.
Don't make us an object
of public display
don't laugh but don't pity
my hurt and dismay.
I'll be fine, I swear it
I can move on.
It may take some time
but it's darkest before dawn.
