Aware Track

It never fails
When this excitement’s creeping
I go back and think about the details
These answers I’m seeking

Keep it all consistent
I guess I’m trapped here in this cell
Should I have been more insistent?
Maybe only time will tell

I hope you’re doing well
I somehow knew this from the beginning
You were such an easy sell
But yet somehow, I’m not winning

You really gave me no choice
You’re not exactly what I wanted
The ingratitude you project with your voice
And the lack of emotion you fronted

You stopped me dead in my tracks
And sucked the life straight out of me
I see right through your honesty that lacks
Only a fool would fail to see

I’m sorry to use this book
It’s only because I didn’t want to lose you
I was playing you’d give me a second look
Your forwardness I wasn’t used to

My indecision has been an Achilles’ heel
And I am sorry for that
No real reason for these things I conceal
I just wanted to hold you there as we sat

I wonder just how badly I would feel
Right now I’m not the man you want me to be
It struck me tonight that this situation is real
Hopefully, in time we will see…
…This letter signed to you, sincerely
