If you gave me a choice,
I'd say no.
Becuase then I'd know,
you didn't truly want me to go.
If you didn't give me a choice,
I'd say no,
Because there's NO WAY, you could ever MAKE me go.
What I want,
is for to say,
that you can't go another day
without me there,
by your side,
because then my friend,
you'd be surprized,
becuase i would say,
YES.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem, about a situation I was in a couple of months ago with a guy. And he would ask me if maybe, sometime, i would want to go out, and I would say no because i didn't feel he truly wanted me to. And he would tell me I have to, and I would say no, because he cant make me do anything. But if he had just told me, that wanted me to, then today would we a different day.
