Not Him

I want you to be mine
not his
I want you to love me
not him
I want you to talk about me all day long
not him
I want you to see no flaw in me
not him
I want you to kiss me
not him
I want you to make love to me
not him
I want you to want me like I do you
not him
I want you to tell me everything first
not him
I want you to have anything in the world
even if it means taking my own life
as long as it makes you happy
for a hour, a minute, a second
that risk is worth taking
anything
as long as it’s
not him
