Here's to All the Boys That Love Me

Here’s to all the boys that love me

Please don’t raise that glass to me

Please don’t lock that door to say my name

And never,

Ever,

Feel me

In the pit of your stomach

When our eyes catch on the sidewalk

Or when you see me

And I’m sitting next to him.

I selfishly ask you this

Because I want to live free

Free of you

But also

Free of pain.

I know pain

And I know you.

The thought alone drives me mad

That two old friends may meet

And together, sail away

Straight into the rocks.

All because you love me.
