Because of You
I can't sleep at night
 I'm thinking of you
 I try to shut out those thoughts
 But they won't go
 
 I toss and turn
 Loving and hating them all
 
 How much have you realized of me?
 Am I obvious to you?
 Or do you have no clue?
 
 I'm sure there is a hint
 In the back of your mind
 That tells you
 I'm interested in you
 
 Disturbing me
 That you're stuck so much
 Will they leave
 Once I return?
 
 Maybe I just miss a friend
 from whom
 I've been gone too long
 
 I enjoy your company
 Easy going
 Thinking like me
 I cannot resist
 Someone like this
 
 what my thoughts
 Linger on
 You seem to say
 Making it a possibility
 No longer
 An uncomfortable idea
 
 I love how you see the world
 In a different way
 I see it in your eyes
 What it is
 I have yet to find
 
 A myriad of times
 I think I feel your eyes
 I turn to look
 And think they are not there
 
 I fear your gaze 
 As many fear mine
 For the very same reason
 You seem to know all
 And your eyes
 See into the soul
 
 I almost wish
 You would not find me so
 I fear you can tell
 All I think of you
 These thoughts
 Scare me most of all
 keeping me up at night
 
 Perhaps my visions
 Are telling me something
 Very clear
 After all . . .
