Just You, Me and Reality pt 4

10 minutes later
We arrived at the fair
Ironically "falling in love" by Elvis Presely was playing
She had a disappointed look on her face

This song sucks
How so?
It's all about a guy not being able to lasso his feelings
Might be like that from your perspective
But to me I see it as him being selective
He tries his best not to rush but accepts that she is what he needs

Aside form that, why did you drag me across the town?
Well I got upset when I saw your frown
I'm still mad at you
I don't really care
This is a moment I want you to bear

Stand back and relax
You are always trying to cheer me up
Just chill and grab a cup

---

We walked around
I was quite proud
I finally singled out that feeling
The one that gave this girl her meaning
She's been twisting up my mind
She wastes so much time
Just to try
To get me to smile

Can we go to the far end?
There's a bench around the bend
Sure why not?

Can I ask you a question?
do you have a guy that that is there for you?
Is there that special someone that fits like a good shoe?
You put in way to much effort
One day you will get hurt...

I don't, I never have
I don't want to put myself through that pain
I've seen how it affects people
Just look at you, all weeping
That's true...

We passed through the crowds and got separated
I couldn't see her, it was 15 minutes later
I stopped where I was to observe my surroundings
I heard her voice in the distance

Two steps forward one step backwards
I felt a finger poke me in the back
It slid down and fell towards her lap
She looked at me all teary eyed

Why are you about to cry?
It's just something in my eye
Don't get lost again
It's hard to track a short person

(Can I hold your hand)
Sorry I can't hear you in this noise

I felt her hand grip my arm
I was shocked, I flared up in alarm

You can't just do that!
I don't want to get lost again
You mess with my brain
Let go of my arm
walk in front of me it will be fine

You are an idiot
I wanna go home I'm over it
Not a chance you are leaving
You still haven't seen what I'm needing

She punched me on the shoulder
Stop treating me like you are thousands of years older
Fine

I was nervous I didn't want to experience what had just destroyed my mind
I patted and said a silent prayer
I silently asked to please keep her near
I was overcome with fear

Take my hand
I'm not sure if I can
Just do it. Be a man
(Be my man...)

I'm not sure where your hands been
And you say I bother you?
I'm sorry, no can do
I don't want to be hurt again
I don't want to feel that pain

-I'm sorry- is all that I could hear in my head
I'm sorry My hearts been over spent.

Just leave it, it's fine
I've wasted to much time
Please don't take it that way
I'll be ready again one day
