I can’t help it that I don’t feel that way When I look at you. I can’t help it that you do. From the beginning I knew This was all wrong. I didn’t feel the ache for you. Food tasted normal, Birds sounded the same, The sky was plain old blue. But I needed it to be so badly That I kept on. I let it go. I held you back. All the while knowing that I would never dream of you Or feel that way when I look at you.
Would you mind if I sat a while with you? No words. No fuss. I just want to sit in your warmth, Feel your breath, And share in your light. The crazy day keeps knocking on my door, Begging me to come out from under these sheets. But you’re too good to pass up And the day can wait. I’m happy with you, Happy enough to forget all about The clouds that were settling in Just before you lit up my life, Bright and sunny for the world to see.
I don’t know what your middle name is Or if you went to the prom or not. I don’t know your favorite color And if you wear that color everyday. I don’t know your music Or if you like gel or paste toothpaste. I don’t know when you were born or where, How you got to be here or there. I don’t know if you like The Beatles Or D.H. Lawrence Or hot dogs. I don’t know what your mom does Or how many times you’ve been to Disney. I don’t know anything about you Except that when you walk into the room, Something happens to me. Something that makes me believe again. Something that makes me want to Put my heart out there again. Something that makes me want to learn to say “I love you” again.
Sometimes it's so easy to get lost In the busy days, nights, in betweens, That I lose track of the fact that I've been missing this in my life. But when I see you, I get those old feelings That make me realize How much I've missed feeling like this.
