Of Love & Confusion

sometimes
you are exactly what I want
when you are around
and I can’t have you
that’s when
I want you the most
but when you are free
and you offer yourself
so easily to me
it just doesn’t feel right
call me crazy
call me an asshole
I know enough to surely agree
don’t get so down on yourself
it’s not you
when I know that it’s me
I want what I can’t have
and when I can get it
I just don’t want it anymore
sometimes
I see you
like I saw you years ago
when your little girl smiles
starts to show
and I guess that’s who I want
the girl you used to be
the girl I never told
just how much she meant to me
you left before I got the chance
became the victim
of another man’s romance
the spark is there
but the flame will never light
and our days together are gone
like the sunshine in the night
