how well do you know me?
you claim you know me well enough.
too well in fact, that,
you can interpret everything
and anything i say, feel or do.
i ask you again
how well do you know me?
do you know how i feel
when you say that you can read me like a book?
does it ever occur to you that you may be wrong?
and that there are sides of me
that you haven't seen yet?
has it ever occurred to you
that i might have changed?
have you ever thought that
by saying that you know me
it is quite the opposite ?
you say you know me well enough.
do you know that i am hurting
when you judge me and assume
that you know exactly what i mean
but in fact, you don't?
do you know how i feel?
when i try to explain my side
and you brush me off and say
"that is not what you meant,
this is the truth behind your words,
i know you too well,
that is not what you meant".
you claim you know me well
and i am hoping that you do
but there are times that you don't
please don't put me in a box
give me space to move.
I am not asking you to change,
but believe me when i say
that i love you well enough.
and that my motives for not talking
have always been in consideration
of how you would feel or react.
I am not asking for anything
God knows i am not
especially not another lecture
on how things should be,
will be and what should not.
I am merely stating my feelings
the only way i know how
i am only letting out steam
for feelings that want to come out
after all, you have always encouraged me
to say my piece in confidence
because no matter what happens
you will hear me out
so where does this all lead to?
i really don't know.
maybe i should ask this again,
one more time ...
how well do you really know me?
now, tell me,
what will your answer be?
