Reserved

I used to think
That it was a bad thing
That you would not flirt with me
The way other guys have
I used to think
That there was a reason
Behind it
You told me you were being
Prudish for my sake
But how much does it take?
You told me that you thought
It wasn't proper
That you thought
It would become a preoccupation
I know you are interested in other things
That it isn't on your list
Of high priorities
I know that this is a way
Of showing respect for me
I wish there was a way
For you to flirt with me
Respectfully
So that I know
That you still desire me
I do admire; and wish I could be
As reserved as you can be
