She didn't have to say she loved you
You should have deduced it from her eyes
She didn't have to cry for you
To open your eyes and realize
That she died every time she saw you with another
That she thought you're the warmth in her bed
That she was afraid letting you know might have complicated it further
But you were a constant thought vibrating in her head
You shouldn't have waited for her to leave to think
Wasn't it so obvious how she stuttered in your presence
How she faltered in speech and how her innocent eyes did blink
You didn't have to wait for the sting of solitude in her absence
She didn't have to feign affection and get played by a stranger
All you had to do was recognize her yearn and be the game changer
