ASYMMETRICAL LOVE

 

Why do you hold back?

Why can’t you go all the way?

“I love you” those are the words

That I want to hear you say

 

Don’t be half hearted

I need you one hundred percent

I don’t want you to be unsure

I want you to be content

 

You have to be sure and,

Content as I am in my choice

But you are, not are you?

I can hear it in your voice

 

You don’t feel the same as I

I don’t make your pulse race

Or your heart skip a beat

I’m right; I see it on your face

 

Love isn’t a one-way street

It has to flow both ways

But it isn’t flowing to me

Not even on the best of days

 

Then it’s over and done

I won’t have half measures

It has to be all or nothing

Not just the pleasures

 

I need to be “the one”

I won’t be your second best

I won’t invest my love

With no prospect of interest

 

It’s sad when love ends

And a couple have to part

But I only feel regret that

I never reached your heart
