A poem . . . I think.

WITH ME

This is ridiculous, but

everytime he posts a song, just the lyrics,

he always gets my hopes up that, just this once,

he was able to dig deep enough, search long enough,

to find the words to tell me how he feels,

to be like the guy he needs to be, the guy I need him to be,

to write something just for me,

and make me fall in love with him.

And when it turns out I'm wrong, every time, just a song

it hurts, and it stings, and I wonder again:

Can he meet me halfway? Will he ever be here?

Will he care half-enough just to be?

"Penny For Your Thoughts."

I don't know how else to explain it, but,
I feel strong, and
I feel breakable.
I just wish his hand would hold mine,
And that he would tell me,
"Everything will be okay."
But -
I don't know what's wrong
To fix.
So how could he?
But I wish he would.
I wish he did.
