Better than Nothing

there are so many ways
that you could want me
but you want me
in only one
and all the ways
in which i want you
you'd think i could be
more demanding
but i'm so easily
pacified
and satisfied
with second best
is better than nothing
i'll settle for less
because the feeling
that flows inside me
when we are intertwined
intoxicates
and always after
when we are done
i always let a sigh escape
you notice and caress my face
but cannot give me more than that
and still
i can pretend to be content
i keep quiet and smile
because i know
for those brief moments
you are mine and i am yours
and that, for me
is still better than nothing
