consider the possibility
that it is gently unhealthy
to wrap your arms around me
while the one you want is she

I love you though
but you tell me no
so I let you go
but your actions show

that while you stand with her you look at me
so I start to weigh the probability
and I know the thought is blasphemy
but I love the taste of a maybe

I took your words as meaning
but your actions are seeming
to get me dreaming
so please tell me what are you meaning

when you hold my hand
and unfairly command
that I understand
I'm less than what you had planned

but still you hold my hand

and I don't want to let go
but as soon as it shows
you push me away
so that nobody knows

to consider the possibility
that it is gently unhealthy
to wrap your arms around she
while the one you want is me
