Stay away

Stay away from me,
So I can beg you to come see me.
Stop calling me,
So I can send message after message,
Wanting to know why you won't talk to me.

Ignore me,
So I can post passive aggressive status updates,
Tell me you don't want to talk about it
So I can push my luck
Enough to make you hate me
Hate me,
So I can talk you round again.

So I can tell you,
You're still the girl I fell in love with,
Tell you I'll always be there,
Then stop trying.
So I can torture myself
Every time I see you,
About how I still look at you,
See you in your prime.

So on the offchance of an empty house,
I can sneak away to see you,
So that we can sit on opposite sides
Of the same sofa,
Until our hands touch by accident,
Then it's like nothing has changed.

So I can command you to come closer,
So you obey.
So I lean in towards you,
Forehead to forehead,
Your breath quickens,
So it gets rough,
Urgent,
Needed.

Until you tell me to stop,
Tell me to leave,
Make me drive home in the dark,
Your regrets make you stay away from me
So I can beg you to come see me.
