Is it the reflection of my heart
in your eyes
or the light you bring to my life?
It’s a room I enter
every time I think of you.
As I close the door behind me,
I wonder why anyone would ever leave such a place.
Is it you who gave your heart away
or did he just reach inside you and take it for himself?
It’s a selfishness that is stronger than lust.
As I force you to notice me,
I wonder how anyone would ever let you go.
Is it the beating of my heart that keeps me awake
or am I afraid of the dream realized?
It’s a moment I always regret.
I awaken and you’re not with me.
I wonder, now, why anyone would ever live inside a fantasy.
