is it your smile? your sparkling eyes?
or the way you always have
a shoulder to lean on?.....
because they all love you.
and i don't.
not a bit.
i wish they'd believe that.
so i try to say it;
in these few lines
-read-between-them-
they're all i can manage (angry)
I don't. I don't. I don't.
and you aren't arrogant,
or begging on your knees:
the image of perfection,
you're too humble.
do you know that?
every now & then,
i watch the way you laugh:
open mouth, happy eyes,
and i see it....
what makes me not love you.
{it's not existant}
non, non, non
i'd give you the galaxy,
shrouded in hues of tourmaline,
if it would fit in your hand.
and your face, bright and alert;
i know you would accept it,
collect it and not move on.
and not give in.
but i don't love you.
I don't.
I don't. (I wish they'd believe that)
and I can't make myself...... not.
I don't......
want to.
and we can't all be like you.
