The Retort

I want to tell you I love you.
I want to tell you I need you.
I want to tell you that I want you here with me.
But I can't.
You already love someone.
You already have someone.
You're already with someone and it kills me.
Do they wait for your smile like I do?
Do they linger on your every word?
Do they know that you’re the one who brightens up my day?
Do they know that you're my whole world?
Without you, what's the point of living?
Without you there's no reason to breathe.
As I listen to that song, I sing to you in my mind.
"Let me be the one who calls you baby all the time."
