I Wish I Knew

I wish I knew
What you were thinking
As I stood there,
Before you.

I wish I knew
What you were feeling
As I opened up
My heart.

Did you ever really care?
What is just a moment's flare?
That brightened your eyes
Before you turned away.

I wish I knew
What you were hoping
As I told you of
My dreams.

I wish I knew
What you really saw
As I showed my soul
To you.

Did you truly see me?
Or was it the shadow from the past?
I wish I knew
What you knew
And then I'd know
For real
If you
Saw me;
The love that you said can not be.

You turned away
Broke my heart today
Did you ever see me?
Please
Turn back
And look
See ME.

Turn back
Like you are
And look
Like you are
See ME
Like you do.

I know I know
What love feels like
As you hold me
Just me.
