My Mind's Dance

Sitting here on the side
Of the dance floor
Looking at the people
Holding hands
Wishing you were here
To shuffle our feet in syncopated motion

I know I must be crazy
To still be crazy about you
I miss the times we had
The times I would lay in bed
Half asleep
Talking to you for hours
About nothing.

I went with my friends
Thinking I could unwind
Relax for a change
Who was I kidding?
I’m not satisfied
Until I see your smiling face
Staring at me in the center
Of the platform of the church
As I walk down the isle
Coated with rose petals.

Is it too much to ask
To give us a chance
Is it too much to be
To be with just me

I know I’m not new
But maybe I have something
You just don’t know about it yet
Are you willing to find
What no one else finds

I hide for a reason
I don’t want everyone knowing
Who I am is something special
You can’t trust people with the real you
Because anyone who has your trust
Can just as easily betray it.

I asked God to take
All the emotions
That were linked to you
If you weren’t worth my time
But my heart is still yours
I don’t know why
He hasn’t helped me move on
Do I just need to wait longer
Or does he know we can work things out?
