HE

He says no,

He says he doesn't want to hurt me,

Doesn't he realize it hurts anyway?

Better to have loved and lost,

Than to have never loved at all.

But doesn't he see?

I want him so,

I want him to hold me,

Kiss my tears away,

Give me something to believe in.

But he can't see,

Maybe he doesn't want to see,

That it tears me up inside,

To have him be so close,

Yet hold me so far.
