Confession


Don't ask why

You know why

You know why it hurts to be away from you

And why being next to you is my home

You know why I stay up and lose sleep 

Just so I can hear your sweet voice on the phone

You know why I am so comfortable around you

Why laughing around you is so easy

You know why I say all those cute things

And why  I act so cheesy

Tell me you feel the same way

Lie to me if you must, but don't ruin the charade 

I know he doesn't deserve you, I wish him and I could trade

He can have it all, that's fine!

Because it all means nothing if you're not mine

I can see it in your eye's

Hear it in your voice

If you had a second chance you would've made another choice

"But we've been through so much, I don't know life without him."

Imagine where the fish would be stuck if he never learned to swim

"Why have you waited this long? What do you see in me?"

The stars, the moon, the sun, the earth, and the sea

"You know it's funny. I always thought I knew. Where my life would take me. But all of this feels new"

He never gave you butterflies?

"No." 

He never cooked you food?

He never told you all the things he loved about you? 

He never learned your favorite things?

Or promised you a ring?

"No..."

You deserve better,  you know it's true

"Why do you care so much?"

Because I love you.
