For Once

For once

For once I want to experience what it’s like to be the girl who’s important

Important in another person’s life romantically

The girl they’re actually scared to lose

The girl who’s opinion matters, the one who they actually listen when I speak

I want to be the girl who someone pays attention to every little detail because to them I matter

For once I want someone to care, to care if they hurt my feelings

To care to know how my day is going

For once I’d like to be the girl who is a priority and not an afterthought

For once I want to experience what it’s like for someone to be so intrigued by every little thing about me

For once I’d love to experience romance and not just be a pretty accessory

I wonder what it feels like to be seen?

For once I want to know I bring excitement to another person

For once I want to feel like I’m not the underdog in every situation

For once I want to experience genuine love.

For once.
