I wish I could invent a new emotion
To describe the way I feel
When I see you
I guess I could say
I love you
That is hard
However
For others have said it
And we both know how much I hate
The fact that the only emotion
I feel for you
Is not my own
But instead the words of
Some other lover's lover
In fact
Every emotion I feel
That I can name
Was named by someone
I never met
Perhaps I can name this emotion
The one that fills me when I see you
'Cause it one day will be
The only way you'll remember me
I'll call it
Your emotion
Because only I can feel it
And I can only feel it for you
So remember me not
By the name my mother gave me
Or the name I chose
But by this original emotion
Of mine
For you
