Trying to Fight It
I didn't write this for you.
I didn't write this about you.
I didn't think of you when I wrote this
I didn't think of your eyes so blue.
That's what I tell myself
Because I'm not willing to face the truth –
I'm obsessed.
That's why I have your first tooth.
(You don't want it back, do you?)
But you're so smug
You think you know it all.
How can I like you?
But your eyes are like pools
Which I drown in
And no one will throw me a lifesaver
Then you notice I'm staring
And you smirk, and you wave.
I'm stuck, I'm confused:
I don't like you, but I love you
I hate you, but I have to be around you
I want you to be here forever.
I've got a noose around my neck
And slowly it tightens because I can't decide.
How can I hate you but still love you?
I suppose I can't fight it.
I wrote this for you.
I wrote this about you.
I thought of you as I wrote this
Especially of your eyes so blue.
Because I've decided, I can’t fight it –
I love you.
I could try harder
But the truth is I don't want to.
I didn't write this about you.
I didn't think of you when I wrote this
I didn't think of your eyes so blue.
