Why dont you let me love you?



Stop pushing me away.



Why when I turn to leave youre asking me to stay?



Yet youre so indifferent when I tell you how I feel.



How can you be the one to hurt me and the one to help me heal?



Why did I let you break the very thing I shouldve guarded?



I shouldve walked away before it even started.



But here I am wishing I could make you love me just the same.



But youll never feel that and I am the one to blame.



Im pointing the finger at myself.



Because I fell in love with you knowing you loved someone else.



It was clear from the beginning your heart was in your home.



For that very reason I shouldve left you alone.



I heard the words so clearly and still I didnt listen.



I have to learn to follow when I hear my intuition.



But you made it so hard to pretend you dont exist.



The minute I heard your voice I couldnt resist.



When were together the world seems to be on pause.



In that moment youre mine and Im completely yours.



But then you go home to be the loving husband, doting father a good



family man.



I am the other woman that knows where she stands.



Pacified with your frequent calls and occasional visits,



Quieted by your late night talks that at times become elicit.



Pained by the reality of what well never be.



I gave myself to you completely and you cant do the same for me.
