Oh.
You keep me to your back,
flickin’ your eyes back fast, when you pass
afraid that your gaze might catch?
You vaulting over the handrail,
walk it off with a bounce,
a false leisure in your gait
in hopes I’m not watching
I’m sorry, I’m trying not to
She’s right
I know it ‘cause I feel it too
I see how you act just as I do
I would even hope to say I know you.
Still feeling something,
not the first time I’ve been blind,
still lingers by your smile,
not really mine to define,
but it hurts like hell.
…
Anyways,
I just want you to know
that you’re worth it,
want you to know these thoughts can’t drown out your music,
I wish I could just take back the me out from your mind,
safer to forgive
and forget, I guess,
than to try
And needless to say,
the you in my mind can stay
this pondering isn’t wanted
but the real you may fade
