I don't want to think
how things would be in another life.
I don't want to imagine
you not being here.
I don't want to know what it's like
to never feel your kiss on my lips
or your hands holding mine.
It seems that I've fallen again
but you still see right through me.
No matter how hard I try,
I can't change the way I want.
Even though you claim to love me as I am,
I still see the way you glance at another woman.
Never in my life
was I ever the jealous type.
Now I'm terrified
when you aren't by my side.
You tell me I shouldn't worry;
you might as well tell me not to breathe.
It's pointless to worry
even as you lay beside me
but worry I do.
Until I feel I have your heart in return,
every minute without you will feel like an hour;
every day a year.
But I'll still be here,
waiting for you to love me in return.
