If I wanted a person
Right now
To be responsible to
I’d have a partner
I wouldn’t have left
The relationship
That was no longer fulfilling my needs
If I wanted a person
To consider before
I make any decision for myself
I wouldn’t be living alone
In a space of my own
Where I can come and go as I please
If I wanted a person
To tell me I live life too intensely
Or change my plans
To adhere to their world view
I’d have a person
