Emotional Hookup
He could’ve been anyone, really
But I’m restless waiting for his reply
Maybe he saw the flaws I saw
Or maybe he didn’t feel any sparks between us
I’ve known friends for years
Family for decades
But I just wanna spend time with him
I know it’s sick and twisted
But I need something new
I wanna skip the small talk and pretend we’re in love
For at least the night
I’m done waking up naked in someone’s bed
Feeling dirty and guilty
I just want a stranger to love me for who I claim to be
I don’t need the real me to be seen
