Been Times

There's been times where
I've sat in front of the television set
And cried
Because I didn't understand the world
Or the people in it.
And the joker in my deck of playing cards
Would look just the same
As you in the moonlight,
Pressed up against me
And the steering wheel
Playing tricks in the glaze of hazy streetlamps,
But though your face would be spotted
With a clown's polka dots,
I'd shiver at the way you'd hold me
In the darkness
And I'd love you for the rest of my life
If you could only keep me in those
Moments where nothing but you and I
Would circle around the sun.
My guess is as good as yours,
Or at least one of us might be telling
Half of the truth,
But life isn't about
Incomprehensible decisions and I didn't
Miss the feel of your lips on mine
For reasons incomprehensible.
There's been times where
I've glared at you alone,
For faults and pains that you never really caused,
But you were always willing to take
The blame,
But in that moment, where the moon was full
And shining down on us through your
Foggy windshield
I loved you because you were you,
And you smiled so softly it looked
Like part of you was fading away,
And though I never told you I loved you,
I always felt it whenever you'd look at me
And told me we'd make better friends.
