Why do I love you?
Why do I miss you?
Why are you on my mind at 3am?
Why do I feel so much for you?

I cant be like this, you see
I cant like you and insist that you do too
I cant write about you and waste my ink on something uncertain
I cant continue to feel this way because it's destroying me

But please, this will be the last time,
The last time I'll write about you
The last time I'd be awake at the thought of you
Just one last time

I  wish you're here beside me
I wish you could just see right through me
I wish you could just stop this
I wish you'd stop me from making me feel this way

How can you be on my mind when I'm not on yours
How can you be in my heart and not be in yours?
How can someone like me love someone like you
How am I able to write poetry for you and not able to receive a single sentence back?

It's hard to be in this position
It's hard to show how much I like you since you're blind to the idea of you and I
It's hard to love someone who can’t see you

So finally, one last time
I ask you to make it easier for me
one last time, i wish you were here
one last time
