Before the Ask

I didn't want to hand you the script

I wanted you

to already know the lines

I wanted

the door held

before I had

to knock

The seat saved

before I

had to look

for it

I wanted

to be

the thought

that came unprompted

Not the afterthought

I had to remind you

to have (ohhh)

Not because asking is weak But because being chosen freely

is the only way it feels true

I wanted

to be

chosen without having

to ask (yeah)

I wanted to

be the thought that

came unprompted

I wanted

to be

chosen

without having

to

ask

Without having to

ask (ahhh)
