I see your life and I want it,
Or at least it feels like I do,
But the closer I look, the more I wonder,
If those thoughts hold any truth,
I think I want your life,
Because I want someone to come home to,
Someone to bicker over simple tasks,
Someone to be my other half,
Sometimes I look at you and wonder how you got so lucky,
To find someone who accepts you,
When all I can see all your flaws,
But yet they love you without cause,
I wonder how did you make it to the I do's,
With all that is wrong with you,
I know that's not right of me to say,
but at the end of the day,
I am lonely, and you are not,
I live a life with intention,
Yet you found the storybook plot,
I want to say it isn't fair,
But, who cares,
You are happy,
And well,l I am,
Something,
But without someone,
Maybe I just want it because it is out of reach,
Maybe I want it because it's all I see,
Maybe it is the thought,
Maybe it's the pointing out what I am not,
Maybe it is because I want it,
But settling feels like a sacrifice,
Yet the desire comes from not having anyone in my bed at night,
I want your life,
Well, not exactly yours,
But one my own,
A home,
Where I am accepted and known.
