If you really want to meet
the one of whom I write
my muse and my inspiration
the one that sets my heart alight

If you really want to see
the most astounding vision
who breaks mens hearts
with random precision

if you're really that curious
I'll show you, step nearer
and when you get close enough
I'll hand you the mirror

like a pendulum
I swing back and forth
between doing my best
to stay healthy
and/or
not giving a ****
and eating everything I enjoy
and washing it down
with a good Bavarian beer
or six
what’s the point?
for a little extra time
is it worth it?
well if you have grandkids
I guess it is
maybe I’ll find a balance
or wait for the pendulum
to stop swinging

unrequited love isn't like a cancer
there is no remission at all
there is no chemotherapy
or any pills large or small
there's always alcohol therapy
to relieve some of the pain
but when the sessions over
here comes the hurt again

You know I'm your friend
and I really do care
and I'm always there for you
if you really want to share

if you just want me to listen
I'll be as quiet as a mime
if you want my 2 cents worth
I'll try not to give you a dime

but I do have to tell you
and I do want to assert
it's nothing devastating
but I was a little hurt

I never want you to feel
like you can't come to me
If I don't have the answers
I'll be as honest as can be

I've always heard them say
you should always end your day
with a beautiful thought or two

I hope that it's okay
my dreams I hope to sway
with beautiful thoughts of you

we are everything
that we have experienced
in life so far

all our experiences
have made us
what we are at this moment

but something
has brought us together
maybe something in our past

maybe a common event
that only we share
that can make us complete

maybe it's that same event
that sometimes attracts
sometimes repels

maybe the closer we get
to the truth
the more we repel

but we desire
the truth
so we attract
as well

your love is not more inferior
in spite of your rough exterior
never leaving yourself exposed
always in control and composed
but on occasion sometimes I detect
my love for you does have an effect
