Not You

The pain that kept me up all night; it wasn't you

I missed some guy I used to love; it wasn't you.

.

The wind that rattled at my windows shook me up

and so I wished I had that man who was not you.

.

The smile that brought the sun has gone, which fits -

it is December in my heart and he's not you.

.

I wonder if you could conjure him again, would you?

No doubt you could for someone else, not me - not you.

.

I saw the sparkle in your eyes that turned from star

to flint; I wish I loved someone who wasn't you.
