It will never be me

You were so casual in how you asked me.
So much so that I couln't believe you were serious until you looked at me.
I wanted it but not that way.
I wanted you to take me into your arms and stare into my eyes 
like all good romance stories tell it.
I forgot that you don't like romance or maybe its me?
Is it so hard to imagine me as the one that holds your hand through the storm;
Me?
I'm left reading the words you write for others 
songs you sing for them
you say their written in anger but you immortalize them for others
not me.
