LOVE IS NOT LOGICAL

 

 

 

We sat in my car quietly,

And I waited for what she wanted to say,

I looked at her and I smiled,

And she stared back nervously,

She said I broke up with the boy tonight,

We had another big stupid fight,

I didn't know who else to call,

And then I realized what was in front of me,

That you’ve always been there for me,


I stopped smiling just then,

My palms grew sweaty my toes went numb,

I said nothing I was speechless then,

As I listened as she continued on,

I think that you’re a nice guy,

I know you’ll never make me cry,

You’ve always given me what I want,

And always tried to make me smile,

You’re my best friend,

And you love me I know,

Because you’ve never neglected to tell me so,


She leaned back on her seat

And stared straight ahead and waited for me to speak,

My heart was racing in my chest,

Trying to catch up to the thoughts in my head,

I’ve waited so long for this day,

Never really believing that it would come,

The girl I love had confessed to me,

And now it was my time to take the next action you see,


Close your eyes I instructed her,

She followed obediently,

I moved my face closer to her,

And then I stopped right in front of her,

I admired her beauty for that brief while,

And then leaned in…

And kissed her on her forehead,


She opened her eyes and looked at me,

And I stared back at her,

She looked confused it made me laugh,

Then she looked angry so then I stopped,

I leaned back on my seat and now she waited for me to speak,


We sat quiet for a moment then,

The night was quiet,

The crickets chirped,

The night breeze blew gently,


I said, if you looked at it logically,

You and I were meant to be,

We get along unnaturally well,

We care about each other anyone can tell,

It’s true that I will never make you cry,

Because I’m too busy making you smile,

And now that I think about it I AM a nice guy,

I heard her laugh at my last remark,

And I quietly chuckled on back,


I sat up in my seat as I continued to talk,

But love isn’t logical I sadly happen to know,

Though I may love you and never neglected to say,

You won’t ever feel the same,

And if I was to stay quiet and said nothing to you,

I know you’ll wake up one day may regret what you do,

I love you so much you would never know,

That’s why today I’m letting you go,


Go home and think of what I said,

And if it’s meant to be

You’ll come back to me,

And I hope you know no matter what you choose,

As it is now and it was then,

I will always be your friend,

Many months has passed since that day,

She’s found someone else to love her right,

He really tries to make her happy,

And though I sometimes wish I was in his place,

                                       I forget it all when I see her happy face.
