Subsitute

I want to be here for you.

I want to talk to you when it’s dark

And everyone else is tucked in a bed.

I want you to stop by, just because.

I’ve connected more with you in our silence

Than with so many others and our conversations.

I feel this deep need to . . .

run jump play skip dance laugh cry see

With you.

But I don’t want to hurt you.

Let’s be friends forever;

We won’t reveal any secret feelings.

We won’t have secret feelings.

. . . or if we do, they’ll stay secret.

We can make history, me and you,

By being the first real friendship

Between a man and a woman.

Between a girl and a boy.

But since we are being open, I’ve got to confess

That maybe I want you as a replacement.

Maybe I just always need a friend like that

To feel like myself . . .
