Put Me First

I wish you'd put me first, for once Wish you'd hurry to my house, excited to see me Instead of making me wait, like I always do Wish you texted me first Wish you wanted to call Wish you'd ask me out Wish you wanted to spend time with me Wish you would make the time for me Wish you wanted more than a few hours with me Wish you'd say no to plans to be with me Wish you valued my time more Wish you'd be on time more Wish you'd get me flowers Wish you'd stay up late to talk to me Wish you wanted to stay up late to talk to me Wish you wanted to talk to me Wish you wanted me Because I put you first I'm always early because that's more seconds with you I sit for hours and wait for your calls And scramble for my phone the second you text I ask you to hang out every chance I get Because I know you never will I skip meals if it means I'd see you sooner Or have and hour or two more I skip homework to be with you I skip practice, cancel plans I drive hundreds of miles just to catch a glimpse of you I stay up until the sun rises If I even thought you might text And I answer a call no matter where I am I put you first, indefinitely, without second thought And I just want to be first, once
