Ask Me Again Why I Love You.

Ask me again why I love you
Ask me why I still care
It’s in my best interest to let go
But letting go is something I can’t do

I think you know how I feel
I know that there’s something between us
I feel it every time you look at me, every time we touch

I still wake up and realize I’ve dreamed about you again
This shouldn’t be happening to me anymore
No matter who I’m with I still can’t forget you
No one can make me feel the same

Forgive me for writing bad poetry about you
But there has to be some way to tell it
Why can’t I be happy with someone else?

I guess that’s obvious isn’t it?
I know you could see through the pretty words I string up around me
I know you would lean towards me and ask what was happening
I never could fool you, you always knew

Why do I still think of you?
Why do I still see your face in my mind just like you were standing in front of me?
You’re blue eyes burning into mine, I thought I would forget
I realize now that I’ll never forget

Every time I think you’re image begins to blur
I’ll see your picture in my old school’s ad
I’ll find a picture of the two of us together
I’ll have a dream and it will be just like that night last April

I was so naive last summer
I thought I’d forget you and that it was just a matter of time
I was so wrong, so foolish not to realize
Since then I discovered why I haven’t forgotten
Why your image is just as plain as day before my eyes
I was in love with you, I can’t forget you, and I don’t want to

I’m not going to even try to forget, I’ll hang that picture of the two of us on my wall
I’m not ashamed that I’m still in love with you, even though I should be
I’m just so tired of fighting what I know is real
Tonight, I’ll see your face before I close my eyes
I’ll know that this was real and I’ll know that, that is what perfect felt like
