Mom said I could be anything I want
Just that not some jobless person with no goals
I understood that at a very young age
So I continuously dreamt of being something
I know I can be anything, anyone
I could be anything in the world
But I chose to be yours.
It has been 17 years
I have always held my chin up
I made sure I was higher
My pride wouldn't let me be any lower than anyone
I always had the upper hand
Little did I know that when you experience true love
You become extremely empowered
You're more proud
But I also became submissive
And I like that.
I want to be your girl
And I want to be like the typical cheesy romance films
Like when I wear your name on my neck
Or when I try to braid your short hair
There will come times that I could be anything
But I'd rather choose to be yours
Lying on your bed
Whispering our I love you's
And smelling like forever.
