People call me various names,
They call me a friend, they call me a lover,
They call me a partner, they call me caregiver.
I am a brother to some; to some, I am a sister,
a parent, a father, mother,
I am a sibling to some, and to some,
I am a cousin.
Friends turn me into love, and lovers into something strange.
People call me various names,
and they do so as they please,
They curse me, abuse me, don't want me; yet crave me,
No one cares what I like, no one asks my real name,
Just hear me out, that's all I ask, neither money nor fame!
Why put labels and name me just one, when I can be so much more,
Why are you afraid to explore?
Let me stay unnamed, and watch me grow,
for naming me puts an end,
for naming me puts an end to my adolescence,
and I have to mature,
Let me stay unnamed, as long as you can,
for I know,
for I know that one day I need to be named, one way or another,
but until then,
until then let me stay anonymous,
and watch me be a lover, a confidant, a friend.
Let me stay unnamed, as long as you can,
for I am a 'relationship', and by naming me,
I remain only one!
