How could you love someone and not know who they are
How could you pay attention to their essence up close if you’re so far
How could you not hear the words that go unspoken
How could you allow their spirit to become broken
How could you not love so deep as to hear
How could you not know the things in which they fear
How could you not see with eyes of understanding
How could you in all these things yet be so demanding
How could you not know what’s yours has become theirs
How could their visions be met with blank stares
How could you be a couple but yet be so single
How could two hearts beat together but not be intermingled
How could you not share the point of your destination
How could you not have sentiment in their frustrations
How could either of you not know when enough is enough
How could you believe that all relationships are this tough
How could you not know their hope is that you feel as they do
It’s a certainty that you don’t feel it too
