I just want to be,
Not in love, not in a commitment,
Just contentment,

I just want to be,
Not your lover, not your husband,
Just your friend,

I just want to be,
Not your thoughts, not your heartbeat,
But a shoulder if you shall ever need me,

So free me of your demands,
Exempt me of your expectations,
And honor my sincere plea,
To just let me be.
