I never knew
I never knew,
I never thought;
How much it hurt,
When my words ripped into you.
I might have suspected,
I should have guessed,
But I never knew,
I'm always that oblivious.
It hurts me now,
More than I can say,
To know that I've hurt you,
And somehow didn't drive you away.
To know that all this time,
As I did my best to drive you away,
You were waiting and wanting,
The same thing I was.
I cannot believe that you do not hate me,
But John, I am here,
Watching and waiting,
Hoping for the time that you will hold me.
