You tell me you don't want a relationship
I'm okay with that
If you don't want a relationship why do you treat me as if we're dating?
You tell me you love me
You tell me good morning, good night
We talk on the phone for hours on a daily basis
You get jealous if another guy flirts with me
You want to meet my parents
But when I ask why you're acting like this you just change the subject
You are giving me mixed signals
Messing with my emotions
You had a dream we were dating and you said you liked it
But you don't want a relationship
What are we doing anymore?
Maybe you're scared I'll hurt you like the other girls?
Maybe I'm just overthinking?
I can't handle these mixed signals...

In the morn
I sit tall from my sound slumber
Standing tall in the bathroom mirror
All to ask myself
How could I
A simple man,  make you the happiest woman?

Let me ask
Are you happy?
Do I make you happy?
Do I make your soul dance?
Do you smile?
Smile because of me?
Answer me this
For I must know
To fulfill my dream
To make you the happiest woman alive

Am I too quiet?
Am I too bold?
Too odd?
Too pushy; demanding?
Oh, wont you speak
I must know
To fulfill your happiness

Don't you know?
I wish for nothing more than the smile
A smile so beautiful
To go from ear to ear
So won't you tell me
Do I make you happy?

No matter the answer
I will make you happy
One day
The happiest woman alive
Till the day I die.

Was it not love because I didn’t give my life up for you?

Were my sacrifices not enough?

Was I supposed to stand back and let you take control?

Or was it that you simply couldn’t love me the way I loved you.

The truth is, I loved you in ways you could never understand.

I would go to the ends of the earth to be with you, but you wouldn’t for me.

And so tell me, was it not love?
