How could you say that

 Bout seven months in
I thought we got through
Everything that happened

We were to spread our wings
and go on together
But it appeared that a while after
You thought about it just being you

Afraid of something
I know not what

Something inconceivable
Something I just didnt
And STILL dont get

You said when I pushed
Because you see
That I knew

That you were thinking
Quite hard about me
And about you

"I think I could support you more
Just as a friend"
But what you didnt get
Until the very end

Of this conversation
That we had started
In your back yard
Where I had been carted

I rarely show my feelings
And I was filled with dismay
That you didnt really understand
Quite until that heart-wrenching day

How I sobbed and I broke
How my heart hit the cage
I could go on and on
Page after page

The minute your father walked out on the porch
I stifled my cries and wiped away tears
That I wouldnt allow myself
To think of those fears

When anyone but you
Were out there that day
I sat and pretended
That all was ok

Once they were gone
In seconds flat
You saw me change back

I broke over again
Cause I wasnt NEAR done
When they came in the sun

I might have been in the sun that day
But I was no-where near those sun's shiny warm rays
I couldnt feel after a while
I started to go numb

But we worked it out
Eventually we saw
That we would try harder
And not get torn by sadness' claw

An amount of work that started with one
The same as the space between your index and your thumb
That small portion
Set us off to fight

Fight for what we wanted
What we needed
For what felt right
