Just Because


Just because I don't hold hands

Doesn't mean I'm not interested.

It doesn't mean I want to be alone,

But it does mean I that I want a little more.

 

Just because I don't hold hands

Doesn't mean I go the other way.

It doesn't mean I'm prude or stuck up,

But it does mean that I prioritize.

 

Just because I don't hold hands

Doesn't mean you can mock me.

It doesn't mean I'm sensitive about it,

But it does mean that I care for myself.

 

Just because I don't hold hands

Doesn't mean I hate you.

It doesn't mean I've never held hands,

But it does mean I don't want to.
