Crumpled paper litters the floor
Words not quite right
Not quite wrong
Are there any right words for this?
All I really want to tell you
Is that I love you
I want you in my life
I want to know you
I want you to know me
But her
I've tried
Time and again
All she has for me is pain
Maybe not for you
Maybe she's what you need
For now
Or forever
It's your path
Between us
A wall
What you think of me without asking
What I think of you without asking
Why don't we ask
Because we all know
What happens when we assume
You think
I think
We think
Because we're smart
We think
But sometimes our intelligence betrays us
This could and should be simple
I'm here
Let me show you my tears, my smiles, my rage
Let me show you my form, my mistakes, my days
You promised you wouldn't look away
I'm here
Let's talk
Just you
And me
