Do I Still Care?

The question lyes in the air

Do I still care?

 

The words to express how much I care are hard to find

because what you don’t understand is not an hour goes by that you don’t cross my mind

 

and after I crawl into bed

and rest my head

 

I drift off into a strange unknown land

and you would think this is something I would have planned 

 

The whole thing sounds so bizarre 

but when I enter the land there you are

 

and it’s as though everything is right

because it’s just you and I

 

Then I wake up hoping to have already heard from you

but that desire never seems to come true

 

Then I watch as time ticks by

and I start to wonder why

 

You haven’t even bothered to talk to me

and I start to long for the land were everything is as it should be

 

because my heart longs to be with you 

and I’ve done all I know to do

 

to express how much I really care

and I don’t have any more ideas on how to share 

 

and I can’t help but wonder if you feel the same way

and if you watch as time ticks by each day

 

I wonder if the words are hard for you to find

and how often I cross your mind

 

and if you feel like you’ve done all you can do to share

how much you really do care

 

or maybe that’s far from true

and I just care more for you
