Just a Game to you

I want us to be serious
I'm tired of wondering 
What it'd be like 
To stay more than a night
Take you on dates 
Love with all my might
 
Instead I wait
Being played like a toy
So I enter the game 
The one you enjoy
 
You've got high records
I'm trying to keep up
Player 1 is in control
Player 2 needs luck
 
Side by side we sit 
Unable to commit 
One needing more 
The second content
 
I fear to leave or end a conversation 
Too much to lose ; you'll give in to temptation 
I don't know what to call this type of relation
Just sex in the summer? short term gratification?
 
I feel less confident 
About our current state
You know it's sad
When I have to ask 
If we're going on another date 
 
See we can never be
More than what we are
Turn off the controller 
Cancel the display 
Until then I'll love you from afar 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

I woke up with the inspiration to write this.  Sometimes you just want the other person in the relationship to be serious, to think about the future.  You know what they say, "the person who cares the least in a relationship has the most power"

A good poem, describes very well an unequal relationship. Hope you find your love.
