So very close

Yet so bloody far apart
Can't you see the damage
You're causing to my heart?
Maybe you'd prefer it
If I didn't care
Perhaps you'd be happier
If I wasn't even there
But I am here
And here to stay
Nothing can change that
Come what may
I can change what I say

I can change what I show

But I can't change how I feel
Can't change what I know
You can't make it disappear
By pushing me away
I'm a persistent little bitch
And I'll find another way
Another way to make you see
To make you understand
What I've never explained to others
They just took it all in hand
But what I offered them
They offered back to me
They taught me that friendship
Is a two way street you see
Maybe you really do care
And just find it hard to show
Its something else you bottled up
Like so much else, I know
Many people have opinions
About what you mean to me
But their opinions aren't as necessary
As yours would be to me
You've said it was a sudden burden
And I was quite upset
But more hurt by how you dealt with it
And won't talk to me yet
I know better than to tell you
Anymore than you now know
I've bared my heart now it's up to you
To make what you think known
Don't be so over sensitive

Put your 'being male' skills away

Its time I said less and listened more
It's your call now anyway.
