That Thing I've Never Felt
Is it wrong?
God knows.
God knows everything
As though your every thought were on a broadcast
As though only he were listening.
But that's not true,
Because you -
Dear friend -
Likewise know my every thought,
Or at least you should
As they're consumed by you.
Is it wrong
That not a night falls that I don't want to hear you?
Double negative
I do love talking to you.
Distance, that's what we need
Hah!
Don't they know ... I already tried that.
But you -
My friend -
Why?
I mean, I am undeserving of your kindness,
It's true.
Why?
Well, I am a conundrum,
I cannot give myself to you, as I am not sure of myself
And that's what you deserve
All of me,
Not just the part that loves you,
Not just the part that wants you.
Or needs you.
You need not fear my love,
It will go unsaid, I promise.
I will not say it aloud.
Ever.
When someone asks, "Have you been in love?"
My reply will remain unchanged.
Never.
