Unrequited Love

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.

Your Light For Me

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.

Learning to Say I Love You Again

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.

Feeling Like This

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.

Would You Like to Fall With Me?

It’s been so long since I’ve felt
The weight of another person.
I wonder what your weight feels like.
You’re so cute when you’re nervous,
You smile a lot more and
Mess up your hair when you stumble over a word.
I haven’t fallen in so long,
Haven’t let myself go.
I finally have somewhere to fall and
Just want to ask you:
Would you like to fall with me?

I've Fallen For You

I Want To Know You

Why does talking to you,
Taking that first step toward you,
Have to be so hard?
I want to know you,
The real you.
I want to know if you sleep with socks on,
And if you sing in the shower,
And how you look when you
Hear a song you haven’t heard in years.
I want you to know all of my silly little quirks
And to see some of yours to fall in love with.
I want to ask you to share a coffee
And not say something dumb about
The weather or when the garbage goes out.
In my mind I’ve asked you a million times
To sit and get to love me
So I can get to love you.
In my mind you’ve called me
And I’ve answered and
I’ve finally gotten it right.
I can tell you are something special
Because every time I see you
I can’t even remember my name
Or how lonely I was
Just before you walked in.
