Lovesick (2016)

A Poem by Wesley Dingler

Lovesick as I once looked at you,
  My gaze is obscured now by a half-truth.
Because, baby, I'm not sick anymore;
  But, all the same, I still must ask you:

Did you ever notice,
  When we were standing face-to-face,
That both of us are hopeless,
  But only one of us was in the wrong place?
I gave you a warmth that could forever smolder,
  But it had only made me that much colder.
  So, tonight--
  I don't know.

No--I don't know you anymore.
  I thought I knew you then,
But you were so much more
  Than anything I'd seen before or have seen since.


Tell the truth--
  What does it really do
To love someone so cold to the touch?
  Someone who only loves you half as much--

Affection and
  Love and
Sickness aside,
  The heart is wider than the sky,
But I don't know I can fit this inside.
  I guess the real question is:
Am I still boyish enough to try?
  Well, I might;
But not without this
  Question also assigned:

Did you ever notice,
  When we were standing face-to-face,
That both of us are hopeless,
  But only one of us was in the wrong place?
I gave you a warmth that could forever smolder,
  But it had only made me that much colder.
  So, tonight--
  I just don't know.

No--I don't know you anymore.
  I thought I knew you then,
But you were so much more
  Than anything I'd seen before or have seen since...

Wow! This is so good, I would like to hear this sung. I write a few songs off and on.
This is really good lyrics. Nicely presented

Maybe you should make a song out of it then. You have my blessing.
