I don’t want you to change for me
I don’t want you to hate me
I don’t want you to label me
I don’t want you to be mad at me
I don’t want you to break up with him for me
I don’t want you to stop being happy
I don’t want you to lock me out
I don’t want you to leave me alone
I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want you too close to me
I don’t want you to stop thinking about everything about me
I don’t want you to just start thinking that I like you
I don’t want you to think that’s all I am
I don’t want you to forget me.

I want you to understand
I want you to realize that this doesn’t mean anything
I want you to still think of me as a friend
I want you to accept me, but nothing more
I want you to continue to talk to me
I want you to continue to wait for me in the hallway
I want you to still let me sit with you
I want you to move on past this
I want you to realize that I’m sorry
I want you to see that this is no big deal
I want you to keep being happy
I want you to live and let live
I guess I’d like you to love me…

I want you to keep being my friend.
