i were a boy.

*I was inspired by Beyonce’s song “If I Were A Boy,” thing would be so different if I were.

If I were a boy
The truth would be optional
I’d sometimes tell you what you want to hear
You’d be the one wondering if you would ever be enough for me
I wouldn’t remember every taste, smell, every story, and touch
I’d tell you one thing
And do another
You’d be the one waiting
I’d be the one stringing you along
And I’d have others waiting in the wings
You’d be best friends with postal workers
And I’d be on the receiving end
If I were a boy
I’d be the selfish and inconsiderate one
I’d know that no matter how mad you got
And frustrated you may feel
That you would forgive me
And continue to give me your heart
If I were a boy
Your phone calls would go unreturned
I’d know that you weren’t going anywhere
I’d do me
While keeping a hand on you
I’d naturally assume
That you tell me everything
Never wondering if you were having your own doubts
I’d always know
That no matter how far away that I might go
That you would always welcome my return
