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.
