The back and forth
The give and take

I can never tell what you want
What you are thinking
So I am caught in limbo

Not rejected
Not pursued
Just there

I wanna know what you think
If I'm good enough
If I'm pretty enough
If I talk enough
Or too much

You respond you seem genuine
But then you see me and turn away
Its like you are afraid of me
Or you that you pretend because of pity

Either way
Whichever direction
You seem to steer away from me

I just want you to see me
Give me a chance
A second
Something

Maybe then you can fall
Like I have
Or see the calmness I feel around you
The peace
The light I see on your face
The passion
The love for god

I try
So hard
Or maybe I don't
Who knows?

I just wanna stop swinging
