I make you feel comfortable, you say
like that soft, silky Girlfriend Material I’ve heard so much about.
That’s easy to say when I am not
Myself
during the moments that I spend inside your head.
Touch my body, feels like Girlfriend Material,
because you waited several dates to feel it.
Watch my mouth move, sounds like Girlfriend Material
when you reimagine the words.
I ask you lots of questions
I care about you more than you care about me
which has you thinking, wow, this feels like Girlfriend Material.
Suffocating me in Girlfriend Material strokes your ego
but that was never my intent.
I am not
Myself
inside your bed.
I am not
Myself
inside your head.
You feel so comfortable around me, you say
You feel so comfortable suffocating me
I am just there,
until I’m not.
I’m draped in Girlfriend Material,
until I’m not
Myself.
And that’s where you find your comfort.
