what i don't understand is how you
can't hear my heartbeat from where you are,
can't feel my laughter,
can't see my love,
what i don't understand is how you
can't feel the way i feel about you.
i don't understand how it can be overlooked by
anyone, especially you,
the way my heart leaps
(out of my chest)
my eyes shine
(out of my head)
my breath stops
(out of my mind
for you).
what i don't understand is how
one person can love someone so much
how one person can be so oblivious to it -
shouldn't there be some
cosmic rule
that hearts don't love alone?
there's not, i know
(and
i would know)
but there should be because the
loneliness is eating me alive, the
want is eating me dead, the
hope is filling me to my absolute brim,
and all of it
all of it
all of it, for you.
