Worse,
The strain between us.
Benny...
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you
That I missed you so much
That I thought I'd die
Of the yearning?
How do I tell you
That I don't know who
I am anymore?
That I'm afraid
Of who I had to be
For all those months
And of who I am now.
Your eyes tell me all.
They always did.
And when you first saw me
My heart leapt with joy,
And you were so happy.
Why couldn't I just have
Faded away?
You're confused at my
Aloofness,
But I'm in shock.
Shock at seeing your
Beautiful face again,
And not just in my dreams.
I ache to touch you,
Whisper how much
I missed you
In your ear,
Take away the hurt
In your lovely eyes.
Old habits die hard.
I took a bullet for you
Again.
That was easier
Than trying to explain
Why I feel so lost inside
When I have you again.
All I have to do
Is reach out
And you'd be
In my arms.
Oh, Benny,
Go get your man,
And think of me kindly,
Because you got me
A long time ago.
Why can't I say it?
