The other night you gave me reasons
Why you felt nothing for me.
We struggled with words and wrestled with
emotions
As if doing so would illuminate the
darkness around us.
So why waste words and frustrating
thoughts?
Why repeat what we already know and bring
up what we don’t want to?
I apologize for putting you through all
that.
The only thing I want you to know is that
there’s no need to explain.
So there’s no need to explain
What it is I have
Or don’t have
That keeps me out of your heart.
If I don’t have what it takes, there’s no
point in faking it
Because you should only fall for the real
me.
If I find out it’s something I have that
I haven’t expressed
Then you should discover it without
having to demand.
There’s no need to explain
Why you fall for these beautiful, confident and heavenly women.
Why even those who don’t last in your
affections
Have had more time there than I ever had.
I don’t want to be like them nor compare
myself to them.
They are drawn to you, but never fully
appreciate what they experience.
I may be less confident, but it’s because
I’m nervous about screwing up
My once in a lifetime chance to be with
the greatest man alive.
But I shall keep up and surpass them, as
best I can.
Becoming a better woman due to pure
inspiration rather than to complaints.
And even if you find someone better than
me
If she is the better woman it’ll be OK
because you deserve the best.
I see no need to explain
Why you should give me a chance,
Why you should feel something for me or
why I am worth trusting,
What I’m going to do to make you feel the
magic you long for.
I should just
Show you that I am worth a chance,
Sweep you off your feet, be trustworthy
and never leave.
And if I am unable to do so then I should
just accept that it isn’t meant to be.
I will just enjoy
Being able to talk to you for hours till
our throats go dry
Blending in harmony and watching shows
Or simply sitting in the dark gazing at
you by the lights of the city.
I just enjoy whatever time you give to
me.
Whatever fun we have I seal in my heart.
I don’t care why you spend any time with
me
I just care that you do.
And if ever the day comes
That you finally see that no one else
wants the job of making you happy more than I do,
That you finally feel the magic and that
yearning
That you feel that being with me is worth
all the risks
Even though I’ll be confounded, confused
and even curious
About this sudden change of heart
Just come to me and let me hold you
And there’ll be no need to explain.
