You love me
I suppose that’s enough for some
And analyzing the statement may appear senseless, critical, without right or provocation
Still I feel the need to decipher your definition
I think I know “you” are somewhere inside your skin
You’re yearning to be discovered
Like a Hollywood starlet waiting tables
You love me
I can assume that means you know everything about me
You feel my feelings, you live in my mind, you devour my soul
You want to reach inside yourself and display your guts to me
In your open hands
I can assume that means you wake in the morning to your first thought
Of me
And you lie in bed at night absorbed in thoughts
Of me
And you dream of the next time we’ll be together
In wake and sleep
Truth is… I do not know
I think of ways to reach you – to pull you out of your head
For two seconds
I say things to you without thinking and instantly wish
I had not spoken
Why is that?
Because I share what is deep inside of me
And you dwell on the surface
If I give you time will you meet me half way?
If I wait until you’re ready will it break us both?
What if you are who you are now
And there is no more
What if a lifetime of this… silence
Awaits me
