Love Enough for Two

Love Enough for Two - DrasticDzastr You told me I was standing close You needed room you needed space But all I ever wanted was To see desire upon your face Not I love you because it's due Not words that leave an empty taste I miss the random little things That time and distance slowly erased Now silence fills the living room And leaves me talking to my heart Staring at the man inside the glass Asking where we fell apart I still reach out Even when you pull away Still finding heaven In memories that decay And every step I take toward you Feels like falling through The floor I thought would hold me But never really knew I LOVE BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU Though the feeling stays inside Because words are far too weak For everything I hide I LOVE BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU Even if you don't feel it too And maybe all that's left for me Is loving you enough for two You paint your eyes for concert nights And dress in stars and shades of blue While I wear memories like chains Still trying not to think of you No screaming fights No slamming doors No villains standing in the rain Just watching someone drift away While smiling through the pain And maybe that's what breaks me most How softly people leave Because sometimes death arrives Long before we stop breathing I just wanted to be The most important person In somebody's life Not needed Not tolerated Not expected Chosen Why wasn't I chosen? I cry while making breakfast now Like clockwork every day Our little boy asks what's the matter And I smile the tears away God he's kind Too kind His little heart just wants me whole And watching him protect his dad Breaks something in my soul Maybe this began long ago Back when home became a war Riding away with training wheels Trying to outrun what hurt before Maybe somewhere deep inside That frightened child still lives Believing love belongs to everyone Except for him I LOVE BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU Though it's drowning me alive I still carry all this fire While you barely feel the light I LOVE BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU And that's what's killing me Because the love that fills my soul Comes back as silence from your room So I drink And I smile And tell myself I'm fine Until you're gone And the rain begins again No anger No screaming Just tears Falling from an emotionless face Still whispering I love being in love with you
