For a Better Man

We're both better than this. 
We're capable of love.
We're capable of giving our heads
And not just our hands.

We're not just two bodies
Eight limbs entwined
In the confines of four walls
We're not just hi-hellos
Intersperced with emoticons

Let's be better than this.
Let's be better versions 
Of our text msgs
More full forms
More late night conversations
More naps on your shoulder...

And until we can be more
Let's be less
Not disappear
Just confess
That we can't be more to each other
Without being less to the other.

That's if you really want to be more to me
I know you've been hurt more than me
I can see you cover to protect yourself
But we both know you deserve better than this.
