Closure

I just did something stupid.
I asked for closure
But I don't want closure.
I want assurance.
Affirmation.
I want you.
When I told you
To tell me honestly
That you don't want me,
I wanted you
To tell me honestly
That you wish it was me
Who was in your arms,
That you wish it was me
Who you thought about kissing,
That you wish it was me
Not my best friend
But I know
That that's not what I'll get.
No declarations of love
No passionate kisses
Just rejection with a smile.
Just closure.
