I Love You More

Dear Lover,
I can tell you now,
how I can prove
I'm sure.

 I know now,
what I knew then:
 I always loved you more.

See last night I got just one wish,
Before turning my brain loose.
 And my brave subconcious self decided,
 To switch my body to you.

I had your sharp green eyes so I could,
 Cut you like a knife,
And give you the piercing, heart-beating glare,
 Like I could end your life.

I had your hands, so strong and wide,
To punch right through the door,
And I had your muscled back and arms,
and all your wisdom stored.

Like all my dreams, you were there,
Only strangely, you were me.
Small and ugly and in the way,
And begging to be free.

Do you see now how I proved it,
 What I've always known for sure?
Though you loved me dearly,
 I always loved you more.

I loved you more because I couldn't,
 Throw you across the floor.
I didn't have the courage
to toss you up against the door.

I couldn't find hate in my heart,
Worth marking your face for all to see,
I couldn't make you look the whole world in the eye,
 Ashamed but met with pity.

See, I should have done you justice,
For the things you put me through,
 Should have hurt you, should have scared you,
But I just couldn't do that to you.

There it is: I've proven my point.
Some things in this life I know.
 I loved you truly, in and out,
You just didn't, it's time to let go.
