June FeirCruz - I Know Why

I know why you do not want me to love you
Because if I do not love you I wouldn't feel much.
Only desire and lust
I woudn't have the right to feel hurt nor betrayed.
I wouldn't be allowed to feel jealousy nor anger
When you go out all night behind my back.

You think you are a man
But you are not man enough.
To risk falling in love
To risk getting hurt.
To risk feeling something other than lust.

Yes, you are virile
And bed the whole world if you must.
Spilling your seeds everywhere
But you will always be an empty shell.
You squandered all your seeds every which way
but here.

Go on, do what you must
Desire who you want to
Do not love me if you do not want to.
But do not tell me not to love you
Because you do not own me
And you do not know me.
You only think that you do
But you don't.
