 "1  Night,  1  Stand"

The infamous one night stand...never more fulfilling than true intimacy and more of a senseless act attempting to quench a lustful desire or fill a void left by another. Neither is a prescription to heal pain; it can only add to it.
-One night, One stand
-To be with a woman, to be with a man
-Use someone in the way you used me?
-But the joke is on me because I didn't feel shit
-And it's not like me to hit and quit
-How ironic, should've expressed something platonic
-For once, I just wanted to feel something legit
-Because with you it was nothing but bullshit
-Some dumb game
-Attracted to the unattainable
-Acted like you wanted me
-Guess I was something new to entertain you
-Someone to build your confidence, a comfort friend
-One of those things, another one of your romance flings
-I was never the one
-Stupid me, I saw a life of what could be
-I thought you loved me
-Some fool, I admired you
-But you were only enchanted with the idea of me
-A quick fix to help you feel sexy and shit
-A side piece to all your other priorities
-In your heart, I could never be
-There wasn't room for me or anyone else but yourself
-A stepping stone so you didn't feel so alone
-A hard lesson learned but I've grown
-I've come to know some experiences are what we make them to be
-Right or wrong
-Stop chasing false hopes, fake realities
-Start taking time to follow genuine opportunities, testing all possibilities
-Build depth, choose when to rest and when to forget
-Moving on, a healthy avenue to get over you, that's what's best
