The Obvious
I love you...
I never said it
Never spoke those words
Aloud
But, it's still true
Nonetheless
It was always written
On my face
It's still written across
My face
Everytime you were around...
Or your name was mentioned...
My eyes...
My eyes held the truth
Still hold the truth...
Must've whispered my secret
To you
At least once
I know you saw it
Shining
Like the full moon
Shining, last night
In the dark blue sky
Must've stood out
The same
Everyone knew...
You knew...
Everyone always asked
Questions
You thought it was
Funny
I guess I did, too
Those inquisitive looks
Were amusing
Everybody always wondered
What was up
What the deal was
Was their something
Happening
Between us?
And I would always tell you
What everyone had to say
What everyone was whispering
Behind our backs
What the latest question
Was
"Why does she look at him,
That way?"
Was my favorite
When I told you that one
You just smiled
And said,
"Because of the obvious, right?"
Yeah, that's it
Because of the obvious...
