I always feel you when you look at me
Even your silence can pull me back
The way you stare, as you sit there
Makes me wish for something I lack
You write your songs and I sing along
For all I know, you, I might be playing
Your feelings, your hopes, your wants
All the emotions in what you’re saying
I’m just not sure of what all will come
We all know tomorrow is too far away
I can give you some happy moments
Wondering if you’ll be the one to stay
How do we know I’m not clinging here
In favor of not being lonely tomorrow?
Then after our time, shall I take flight?
Happiness now but leave you sorrow?
Empathy: very dangerous sentiment
Enabling me to sense what you feel
You can give me that look or glance
Creating familiar feelings but not real
Am I making something out of nothing?
You’re not seeking a commitment now
You say you have hope for tomorrow,
But with my faltering I wonder… how?
I hope in things I truly trust will prevail
I hope in things that I’m sure I’ll obtain
But knowing the fickle will stay in love
Same as claiming you can predict rain
I wish you’d stop pulling me close, or
I wish that I knew enough of us both
To know that no matter what happens
Both be determined to honor our oath
I don’t know you; you don’t know me
Not enough to build a life, family tree
So I guess if I just wait and let this be
We’ll know soon enough… hopefully
Listen to me read this poem below!
