This Time Around

It's been a few days now since I thought of you But my recent poetry to you is still true This one will be a bit of a different view And maybe with a sassy attitude... Chris you've always meant a lot to me But I feel like you don't take what I say seriously I'll try & break it down the best way it can be I feel like you give me a lot of false hope And that a lot of what I say you just ghost You have a tendency to be inconsistent with me And lately I'm looking for consistency I would except consistency even as a friend - Or if not a friend, I'd expect it with something entirely different with me And you're leading me to believe that: (a) You're just playing games & it ain't what it seems to be (b) You don't want me - yet from him, too, you want me to be free (c) You're deliberately leading me on, just to retreat us entirely I'd like someday for OUR intentions to be clear 'Cause I won't move back if it's our last relationship in the mirror This time around, I'd rather do BIG things with you & start anew A clean easel for both me & you I wanna put the work in this time to create something with you I don't need games, alligator tears, or more wasted & pointless years I'm tired of all the two-faced fakeness & I'm sick of the unknown fears This time I'm approaching it a whole other way 'Cause if you decide this time around to give me a second chance Just watch - 'Cause I'm gonna slay our second romance
