You always look so sad
especially when you think no one’s looking
but try as I might
I can’t stop
You don’t want my help
in fact you don’t seem to want my anything
but there’s something there that pulls me back
as I’m struggling to walk away
I won’t reach out first
not this time
I’ve tried before and only gotten burned
but I’m begging you
to give me some kind of sign
You’re not happy
I’ve known that all along
and I did my best to lift you up
but went too far too fast
but I’m stuck here standing by
ready to try again
but this time only if you ask
