I turn her every word now
look and listen endlessly
play over all our conversations
to find out what she thinks of me
Is it that I’m so insecure that
I can’t bear to love alone
or is my common sense here
saving me from a deeper wound?
Three days I loved her deeply
but now she’s there and I’m here
both free, without commitments
we dance a dance we both could lead
but it never seems to happen
Our love waits here behind our eyes
we know too much about us
about our past’s and all our lies
I’m confused and torn of heart now
I want to love, I want to win…
I want the strength to be a free man
and I want a lover who takes me in.
I’ve told her I want to share love
those secret spaces deep inside
but we wait to begin love
and I can’t tell if she’s scared
or if its I
…and I can tell if she’s scared
or, if its I.
