Rejection plays on my mind
Could you be so simple as to ignore the not so subtle clues?
It's falling away anyway
It seems youre happy to just let it die
Prioritising mundane excuses.
There's always something else
You put so much effort in the wrong areas
I wish you'd just give up and admit it
I'm right about what it is I need
How could I not be?
Taking things for granted we"re both guilty of
But I'd trade all of it to go back to when
The stars shone in our eyes and dreams were possible
When passion and desire flooded our senses
To be honest I just want to play hard to get
And you to have the confidence to get what you want
Without giving up.
I want to dissappear for a while
To have the chance to miss you
Instead I find myself drifting away
Lost in my imagination
Writing impossible love stories
That end magnificantly-
Unlike our slow mundane crawl to oblivion.
I wish you could be moved by some other worldly passion
