Can't Tell You

I see you gazing away from my eyes

Trying to catch her movements

I know when this happens that you're lost

You're living in dreams of you and her together.

She's everything I'm not

Friendly and socially adept, she has grace

I am sharper and wilder than she has ever been

I am unaware of what's right or wrong, until you teach me.

We have electricity but you refuse to see

The sparks flying between us go unnoticed

I feel them and weep with despair in my soul.

I didn't know what a heart was until I met you

Pain was a foreign word that I inflicted and never received

But I can never tell you how you fill my heart.

I would kill to make you happy

But you're happiest with her

So I wait silently, words failing like never before

Hoping and alternately losing hope

When our song plays I reach out and wish for our future.

Please come home to me.
