Do you Care?

The first time I met you
I though of you just as
another guy. You told me
You wanted to be friends
And to keep in touch, but
I didn't for I was shy. The
Day you called me to come
Hang out was so very
Exciting. We started
Hanging out quite often
And the more I got to
Know you the more I
Fell in love with you.
You treat me like your
Sister, which is OK I
Guess. But do you
See the look in my
Eyes when I stare
At you? Or do you
Just not care? You
Say you do, but
Should I believe it?
Every waking moment
I thought of *you*. Did
You know? My mind was
Going insane, and telling
Me to tell you how I feel.
So I thought I would.
Why did you keep her
A secret? Why didn't
You ever talk about
Her? What was so bad
About telling me you
Had a girlfriend? Am
I that unimportant to
Forget to tell me?
Did you even realize
I was gone? Did you
Care I was gone for
A year.. crying my heart
Out because I loved you?

The day I heard you broke
Up was the day my heart
Came back alive. I was
With you again. Everything
Was back to normal. I
Secretly loved you and
You didn't care. Until
I told you. You said you
Liked me, but did not
Love. You said you
Once had but not
Anymore. You fell
In love with a new
Girl. Was she prettier
Than me? More outgoing?
More confident? Or do
You just not want me
So you do not care.

Do you realize how
Many times you
Broke my heart? Do
You know my heart is
ninety-nine percent glue
After putting my heart
Back together so much?
Do you care I cry myself
To sleep every night? Do
You know that behind every
Smile is a tear, a broken
Heart, and a lost soul?
Don't you see I love
You? Why... why do
I run away from my
Friends who make
Me smile? Why do
I chase you and you
Only make me cry and
feel unlovable? Do you
See that I'm in pain? Do
You care that I'll never
Be the same? Do you
Understand that to you
A chapter of a movie
Is your love, for me
It's the whole thing
From end to beginning?

From now on, when you
See me smile, think of
How much you hurt me
And wonder how I can
Smile. It's because I
Don't care about you
Anymore. Like you
Don't care. See?
I can be carefree
Too!
