With You…,Love Me for Me

I don’t want to try to be intelligent with you

I don’t want to try to be what you expect of me

I want to be stupid for a moment

I want to be free to be a fool when I’m with you…

* * *

Your expectations tie me up

They steal the liberty I crave

They suppress the freedom I desire

They rob me of what I want with you…

* * *

So don’t love me because you can flaunt me

Don’t love me because I’m intelligent

Don’t love me because of what I say

Don’t love me because of how I say it

Don’t tell me I’m bright, I don’t want to hear it…

Please… Just love me- for me.
