i got wrapped up
in the web with you
i was just being myself
the one you said
you fell in love with
only love meant
two different things
to us
for me it's everything
serious, deep, complete
for you
i found out
it's never been anything
but painful, draining, fleeting
you want to learn
about love from me
where it lives
how i sustain it
i try to teach you
and you say you feel it
but your actions belie
everything you say
what do you want from me?
our mutual request
i don't know
to give you what you want
to make you feel good
i would give it all to you
if i had anything but myself
so here i am
take me or leave me

all i know is
you make me feel
as if i'm by your side
feeling special
though i'm not really
we can imagine it though
like we do every day
do you still want that?
it's effortless
but soon it won't be
and i know it will hurt

i want to tell you to stop
look away
and fill your life
with other things
but this is what you chose
as your vehicle
for the betterment of mankind
and to fulfill your passion
your obsession
i understand that

how much more time
you could devote to us
if that was dissolved
and let go to be itself
don't worry
it won't lessen
the power or the message
it simply must return
to the ground level
and let you live in peace
i want you to feel deep calm
i want you to rest with me

i know you feel compulsion
to keep on it every day
unless something else
must take your time
but here i am
understanding you
when i have no place
to really do that
do i?

you warned me
so many times
but i didn't listen
stubborn in my love
i'm sorry if i confused you
i confused myself
acting on instinct
believing my heart
but we're still alive
and doing our lives
and you have me like this
for the time being
how much longer?
it's up to you

i'm so sorry
if i made you upset
but you wanted to feel
and that's what i did
i don't know why
but i'm proud of it
and i still don't really realize
how deep you actually love me
do i?
i'm avoiding that thought
because it's too intense
but knowing it might be true
blows me away
i just need the proof
like the look in your eyes
that summer night

it's okay
i see trust, disbelief, questions there
but i also see home
i thank GOD every day
for having seen Him
in them
i can still remember
my reflection there
and your shy smile
when you saw
yours in mine
