She said, "I cannot stand to be alone",
So she found herself a loyal stone.
He hardly ever left her side,
Parting slower than the tide.

She was a sinner, the worst of all:
Not just water, but a waterfall.
So great was her longing to be free
That sitting still meant stagnancy.

"I am like water, flowing and white,
But you are a rock, steady and wright.
How can we hope, our natures apart,
To ever be one and share the same heart?"

He was a sinner and hardly better:
Not just a rock, but also a fetter.
His love was so desp'rate and blind,
He drove her out of her **** mind.

"You're not water, you're just blue,
And it will work since I love you.
So even if we are some contrary,
I think we are still meant to be."

To demonstrate the truth of this,
He claimed her with a cold, hard kiss.
And still he struggled to conceive
Why she ever chose to leave.

I think I know my heart, but not;
It flutters, falters, and gets caught.
It won't be still, but now won't beat.
I'm empty, lonely, like this street.
I called your name--you never came.
I whispered it into the air.
Am I to blame? I'm still the same.
If only I had loved you fair.

What do I want? But is it you?
Six months ago I thought I knew.
I wanted to be free, but now
I have the chance and don't know how.
I called your name--you never came.
I shouted it inside my heart.
Are you to blame? You're not the same.
The sight of you tears me apart.

I hold you in my arms-but no!
I wake to find my ****** pillow.
I feel you kiss my head, and yet
When I look up, it's just Colette.
I called your name--you never came.
I cried it softly as you passed.
Are we to blame? Are we the same?
Our love was never meant to last.

Although I'm freaking out about all this,
I don't have a home that I could miss,
Since I long for a place that doesn't exist;
I hate my job and I'm tired of school,
I'm sick of my house and my own gene pool.
I'm not so hot and I'm sure not cool.

And now I'm losing my mind
'Cause I can't seem to find
The "kind" within mankind.
I'm a mess without finesse.
Well, I can't take the stress.
I try but don't see the progress.
Don't let me be hopeless.

I thought that you were being strong,
But I could not have been more wrong;
You've already moved on,
And now you're gone.
Here I am, stuck in the same place,
When you've gone ahead and won the race.
Here I thought I was being kind,
But I got left behind.
But what good does it do to dwell
On things that never could go well?
I'm the cause of my own hell.
Your misery would not fix mine.
So I'll move on, too, and walk a line
Where I am fine.

I keep thinking that I'm missing you,
But God knows that can't be true.
I must be missing a man's warm touch
Since I never loved you all that much.
Well, that wouldn't be quite fair to say;
I loved you then, and love you today,
And my love for you will never cease--
But I never felt that sense of peace.
Well, whatever the case might be,
Despite my current uncertainty,
I made my choice; and my stance
Is there's no place for a third chance.
After all this, I'm slowly learning
That all my tears and all my yearning
Cannot make things any better
When I am lonely to the letter.
Besides, this calculation must include
An unknown, moving factor: you.
I knew from the moment I made you cry,
It would never be worth another try.
Although you'll never hear, goodbye.

Not my Jon anymore, not Dear,
And ne’er again will be, I fear.
One broken heart? But there are two,
And mine the worse for leaving you.

Two kinds of love, with his more true,
Mean different speeds of getting through--
He moved on fast, therefore, since he
Wanted what was best for me.

But choosing what I could not feel,
My love, for trouble, was more real.
So while his passion had its strengths,
My love has had the longer length.

Just as fast as a blind love falls,
So too it raises when, appalled,
The object of it flees for fear.
No longer can I call you Dear.

There are stupid things I'd like to do
As if they'd fix me missing you
Or somehow bring you close again
Like stealing your sweater to smell it,
Taking back my gift to sell it,
Or buying you the longed-for pen.

I'm afraid we'll never hug goodbye,
Or if we do, that I will cry
Since I know I must do it briefly
While longing to bury my face
And regretting the empty space
That separates us now.

I wasn't happy then, so how
Am I still missing you now,
And always filled with sorrow?
Although I'm filled with contempt,
From pining I'm still not exempt,
And wish to be yours tomorrow.
