Automatically

I thought I wanted to PLAY with you
but I've come to realize I want to BE with you
playing with you will happen automatically
but BEING will not

I thought I wanted to PROVIDE for you
but I've come to realize I want to BE with you
providing for you will happen automatically
but BEING will not

I thought I wanted to be with YOU
but I've come to realize I want to be with ME
being with you will happen automatically
you are wherever I am
unless
I am not with myself
