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
