I guess I don’t know why this is part of my personality.
I don’t love often but
When I
Do
It is quick
And hot
A match thrown on gasoline
Up in flames in an instant
And I either hate it
Or live with it
Because I have no
Control
c o n t r o l
And
So I guess I just have to embrace
This
I like control
Organization
Gives everything a place
I guess that’s what I’m afraid of
I’ve made a space for
Him
But what if he doesn’t make a space for me...
