for love's sake

Music: Abby Powledge Hyper independence and avoidant attachment Isolate myself and claim it as a protection Undivided time for every book on my shelf Toss and turning, cough without waking someone else Look at me without any obsessive affliction Spent the night in, and then I left out the dishes I don't have to clean up after anyone else Every mess I have is mine I don't need anyone I don't need anyone But it would be nice for the chance for somebody to lose A partner to dance with, a "See you real soon!" To laugh, and to kiss, and to kick off my shoes A season of giving It would be sweet for the chance for a hand on my waist A love song to write, a flush in the face An evening well spent, and a reason to stay Oh, god willing I'll wait for love's sake Spiraling alone without the justification Girls night on the town and I don't share my location I get up and move without my roots in the ground No one's on the other line I don't need anyone I don't need anyone But it would be nice for the chance for somebody to lose A partner to dance with, a "See you real soon!" To laugh, and to kiss, and to kick off my shoes A season of giving It would be sweet for the chance for a hand on my waist A love song to write, a flush in the face An evening well-spent, and a reason to stay Oh, god willing I'll wait for love's sake I got my girls, and my mom Ambition, a walk My journal, my dog I do what I want I don't need anyone I don't need But it would be nice It would be sweet It would be grand It would be green I'm someone's type, friend at the least The voice in my head, "Girl, it's just you and me" I'll wait, for love's sake For love's sake
