sing me to sleep, instead

you don't have to love me,
just because you do,
more than you love anyone,
you don't have to say a word,
when you say you love me,
with all your heart,
not because i can't love you,
not because i all ready know,
but because you know me,
like i'll never know myself,
the way i know my heart
loves you the same
but i'm long over all these,
over summer stretching too far,
and rain falling like tears,
so when you asked me about her,
i stayed quiet, i didn't think
only about myself, but the girl
i could have been for you,
if you had only found me,
before the night we ever met
