As I lay on the lily pad I think of you
'What will happen to us?'
'How far will it go?'
'Will I handle it?'
'Is it too much?'
As I think of the thoughts in my head,
The fish glide in the water.
Making ripples in the cloudy water.
I'd be more than happy to see you
Smile,
The salty water runs down my face,
My smile grows dim,
The waterfall runs down my face.
Oh how I long for you and your
Precious smile.
Oh how I long for your laughter,
Oh how I long for your big heart.
Even though mine has been gone I
Can feel it once more,
The reason for it's vanish.
I see now that it isn't easy to always
Smile,
The water still running down my face,
I think of you and I smile once more.
My smile crooked and all as I try
To be happy once more.
I may be able to make reality
Whatever I want but I can't make
You fall in love.
Am I just a dead man?
Am I just a coward pretending to
Be brave?
Am I just a waste of matter?
Yes,
For I can never face my fears and
Mistakes.
And no one but you knows of that fact
And of my cowardness.
Is it not funny that I am a coward?
Because I think it is.

However I can not change your love
For me,
It is not every day someone falls
For me.
I guess you have to be gifted to fall
For someone like me.
Like my brother use to say 'love is not
An object,
But an understanding.'
