I don’t find it hard to think about you,
And I’ve been lost since I met you,
It’s funny how I don’t need you,
But all the while you’re something I crave,
Feel like no one else would want me,
I’m dragging myself along the ground,
Yet when we separate, it’s like I never lived a moment in your life,
Something once significant, easily forgotten,
You’ve got me convinced I can’t get any better,
I don’t deserve more than what finds me,
You’re untouchable when you wish to be,
And I have no control, you run the show,
It’s your word over mine.
I don’t know if it’s just me seeing things this way.
I don’t want to be where I’m standing,
But I’ll never make it past misfortune,

You’re suddenly pushing us into the light,
Not keeping me in the dark,
Has it been worth the wait and strife?
Seems surreal,
When you go away,
You take it all,
I don’t believe it’s real,
You’re always saying you’ll call,
Never to be heard from,
You’re running scared from something,
I’ll never fear you won’t reappear,
I know you’ll find me, surround me soon,
I used to think we were going nowhere,
Now I see a softer light in your eyes,
When you look at me,
You linger just a little longer,
You don’t try to hide it,
I’m not fighting it anymore.
I understand,
you have your own way of showing me,
everything you mean,
I’ll stop trying to make you say it,
I feel what you won’t reveal,

I’m learning to like the slow steps you’re taking,
Just promise me I haven’t been wasting my time.
