She doesn't need to love me
She's never had to love before
She hadn't felt that gap others feel
Everyone else has this hole
Only to be filled by drinking, drugs, or love
She's missing this common human need
She loves her daily routine, she loves her family
She has the grades, she has her life figured out
She doesn't need me
She isn't missing anything
But how desperately I long for her
In a life a little less perfect, my hole is visible to those who look
But she doesn't look because she doesn't need
And that's the hardest part
Convincing the satisfied that they need more

You were almost the most beautiful specimen I had ever laid eyes on
The wind didn't move you, you moved the wind
The tides rose and fell as you breathed, hold your breath the world stood still
At least in my eyes you could have been my world
But instead the wind began to push back
The tides were taken back by the moon
Bees buzzed, kids laughed, I cried no matter your respiration
You were almost the most beautiful specimen I had ever laid eyes on
But now my pupils find no reward in an elongated stare into yours
