The One and The Two


“I am the One you want.”

“Just give me a chance.”

 

“We are perfect for each other.”

“I won’t be perfect, but I will try my best.”

 

“I promise our lives together.”

“I won’t make you empty promises.”

 

“I’ll shower you in gifts.”

“I will always care for you.”

 

Because I love you

I ask you to be mine

 

I don’t want to right now

 

“Do you not love me?”

“Are you not ready?”

 

“Are you with someone else?”

“Do they make you happy?”

 

I just can’t be with you right now

 

“Why?”

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Do you not want me?”

“Let me help you.”

 

Because I love you

I won’t speak to you again

 

“Please be mine.”

“Let’s start as friends.”

 

“I’ll make you feel good.”

“I’ll take you many places.”

 

I’m ready, I’ll be yours.

 

“Do what I tell you to want,

Just know you’re only mine.”

“Do as you please,

Just know I’ll always care.”

 

“You will do as I say, and talk to whom I say.”

“Do what makes you happy, but careful with whom you speak.”

 

“I don’t like this person.”

“I don’t like him either.”

 

“Don’t talk to him anymore.”

“Just be careful around him.”

 

Listen to me

Because I love you

 

“I don’t want you to be around him.”

“I don’t want you to talk to him.”

 

“You belong to me.”

“He is not a good person.”

 

“You promised to be mine.”

“I promised I’d care for you.”

 

Because I love you

I ask you to choose

 

The One and the two say they love me

Yet they both showed it

The One and the two act as though they love me

Yet they don’t always act it

The One makes me feel good when we kiss

The two makes me feel good when we hold hands

 

The One promises to always be mine

The two promises to always care

 

The One broke my heart

The two repaired it
