I guess I just don't get it

What does she mean when she says were the same person?

When she says we think the same and the thoughts we share are to blame.

We seem to be on the same page but the page is a little different than mine.

Mine says that Ive found the one but hers says to keep on looking.

She says she doesn't want anything serious but I'm through with childish games.

The things she wants me to hear just tear my world apart.

And the things that I wish I could hope to hear aren't the things she holds in her heart.

So the only thing that I can do is either sit and wait or keep on seeking

One that I dare not say would be worth more keeping.

No matter how I feel when I'm with her.

There isn't a thing I can say to convince her.

All I can hope is that she will come around,

And risk my ego so safe and sound.

For I know what I hold in my heart is true.

I blame the superficial world for conditioning you.

Though all the worlds beauty is what attracts me to thee.

It's all the worlds pain that makes me wish not to be.

And in the dead of night I shout out her name.

But its the radiant light of her beauty that's to blame.

It's my unlovable image that is to blame,

But one day I hope my inner beauty shines like a flame.

And as I sit there as just a freind upon the shelf.

I hope that one day she'll learn to love herself.

Then maybe one day she will clear the dust,

and learn that my love was way beyond lust.

For the sands of the desert and the waters of the sea,

Maybe one day she will seek to find me.

Until that day my heart will be torn,

Until the peices are put back together I wait to be reborn.
