Nothing but niceness
is what you promised
because you sure can be mean
and act like a jerk
when things get too personal.
When the truth gets a little too close.
You often attack
or, even worse,
become uncaring and apathetic
and far too willing to risk all we’ve invested
through the years, the fears…
and certainly the tears.
And you know…you know…
that is has not been easy for me
this roller coaster life that is uniquely and unmistakably ours.
Yet, ironically
it has been easy.
Easier than one might think.
Because you, my dear,
are in a league of your own.
The rest falls away.
I so know this to be true.
I really do.
Except I can’t just sit around
with the pain and the unknowing.
Just waiting for you
to work through your stuff
and open your eyes and heart
to see
that I’m the one missing piece
that fulfills you
that satisfies you
that holds your interest through your busy and complicated days.
The one when the door closes
and for us…
all else fades away…
al else fades away…
Yet
you know that I can’t just sit
and wait.
Just sit and wait
as time rolls on.
And you know
that the one thing
I do not like
is to be left alone
to be left all alone…
The pills help me sleep.
The drink helps me cope.
And even though you are the one
that I want the most
I do not like
feeling
deep down inside
being alone
being alone.
So tonight will be different
tonight I’ll take a chance
I’m a little freaked with the idea of a different romance.
Of making small talk
and looking in the eyes
of a man who is not you.
Of a man who is not you.
It’s a little bit creepy
and, yet, excitable too.
I think – I don’t know…
It will probably be fun.
I mean, it can’t be bad.
Except for the fact
that it’s just not you.
That it’s just not you.
