A Silly Thing to Do

Got you on my mind.

What a silly thing to do.

Painting pictures in my head

of all the things that we could do.

-

Afraid we won’t look good together.

“Am I even good enough for you?”

Why do I think you’re so high above me?

Oh,

what a silly thing to do.

…

To place you high above the clouds.

to chase perfection,

just for you.

To think I need to change myself

Just to be good enough for you.

-

“Why do I care so much about you?”

“Why do I think the way that I do?”

Believe that we can be together.

Oh,

what a silly thing to do.

…

Working so hard to build the patience,

and confidence

to be with you.

-

As if we were still together,

I lie in bed thinking of you.

I lie awake thinking of you.

I have these dreams

thinking of you.

Night scares.

Shaking.

Waking.

Hoping

and dreaming

I were

here with you.

-

And you were here with me.

Oh, how sweet it all can be.

Wondering if these dreams can ever

come true.

Oh,

what a silly thing to do.

-

“Get these thoughts out of my head!”

Because these feelings,

they need to end.

For me to even think about

me and you?

Oh my,

what a

silly,

little,

thing

for me

to

do.
