I Can't

by Empress Jai   Feb 4, 2005


I can't figure everything out.
I can't explain why.
I can't possibly know everything.
I don't know what I can & can't do until I try.
*****
I can't reach up & touch the stars,
But I can see the ones in your eyes.
I can't love you,
But I have a feeling inside that takes me by surprise.
*****
I can't have everything I want,
But I can always have your kiss.
I can't possible love you,
Because I can't stand to feel like this.
*****
I can't stand the fact that you love me,
Or the fact that you'll always be there.
I can't stand how you make me feel special,
Or the fact that I care.
*****
I can't stand how my heart screams your name,
Or how when I'm around you I lose control.
I can't stand how I'm backed into a corner,
Or how you've captured my heart & my soul.
*****
I can't believe how I got here,
And how you have the key to my heart's door.
I can't believe I'm falling for you,
Or the fact that it could be more.
*****
I can't stand how it's a possibility.
I can't love you!
I can't give you what you deserve
There's only so much I can do.
*****
I can't stand how much you mean to me,
Or that I could be the girl of your dreams
Baby, how can we know for real?
I guess we'll find out, it seems.
*****
But, I can't love you,
For I'll never be enough.
Your love is so sweet, so pure,
& mine is awkward & rough.
*****
I can't trust myself
to be enough for you.
I can't possibly believe,
I can help with problems you need help through.
*****
I can't grow to tolerate this.
I'm about to cry.
Because all the things I said I can't do...
I love you enough to at least try
