its hard to feel something for you
when I know we aren't compatible
you keep to yourself
I am constantly breaking out of my shell
you like the stillness of a calm night
I like the wild lights the city shines on my skin
I want you to love the things I love

I can't change you
and
I won't change myself for you

Then you hold my hand
and the world melts away
the stinging pain of longing cuts my throat
It drys out my tounge
I love you
you love me

but we can't be together
