The Way Love Can Be

by Kristin Smith   May 28, 2006


Love is a funny thing...
never caring what so-and-so was told.
It will keep right on growing
til its beholders are gray and old.
But there's this thing about love...
that I wish I only knew
the day before this all started...
the day before I met you.
See, the funny thing about love is...
it requires two...
Two hearts
Two minds
Two lovers
Two lives...
that will inevitably change forever.
Yea, babe that's right...
No matter what I may say or do..
the fact of the matter is...
love takes a me and a YOU.
And maybe you haven't noticed
the way I stare deep into your eyes...
the way I bite my lip and smile
just thanking God you're in my life.
But darling if thats true...
then why is it so hard for me
to do like others do?
Why can't I just blurt it out
and confess my feelings for you?
Is it because I fear rejection?
.....or that you may not feel the same way too?
Is it because I'm thinking of you
every day and every night?
...because I love you with every fiber in my soul
my every strength, my every might ...
Or maybe its because my heart just can't take you anymore...
its hoped
and wished
and prayed
and dreamed
through many sleepless nights
that you would one day take it...
and whisper softly "Everything will be all right."
But all you seem to do is ignore its pain and agony...
As I look sadly at my reflection in the mirror,
I think to myself....
"Why can't you just love me?"
