If I could just release All that's in my mind If I could help you see Help you feel how I'm inclined Then perhaps this little feeling That a rift is at its start Would be stunted in its growing Before we tear ourselves apart You see, this connection is changing It's turned, from hot to warm And the pain, is in not knowing How the chill began to form. So we both start overthinking As the dirging dance commences And we begin to back away With the raising, of our defences So much feeling, from nothing said So much loss, in hope near dead Should have jumped at my only chance To take you, to my bed But my life is complicated And I refuse to be 'that man' To notch you on a bedpost Just because I can So I'll linger with regret Hoping you won't move along And let 'feeling each other out' Take, however long But, I think I may have lost you I could not reason, otherwise For, I feel it in your manner, And, I can see it in your eyes.
