We Are Not That


I care deeply for you,

Which is the reason that I hurt for you.

I know you’re confused,

Which is the reason that I try my best to help you.

But now what?

I try, but seem to never succeed.

 

I admire your presence.

I can go without a touch because you touch more than my body,

You touch my heart, mind and spirit.

You touch me on unimaginable levels,

Which is the reason why I say you please me without physical pleasures.

 

I have no doubt in my mind that you care for me.

But I do doubt that’ll last long because I’ve been through this many times.

But you sang a different song.

You unlocked my Pandora’s box.

 

We are supposed to uplift each other,

But each time we go to that level

I feel like we are slowly losing each other.

We are not that.

We are not that.

We are not that.

I tell you I can go without that.

When will you learn to believe me?

Because you came into my life at a time where no one believed in me,

Not even myself.

Now what do I have?

I believed in you.

 

I see us

Through your eyes.

And I want us to realize that

We need each other

To do better for the other.
