What Other People Think

I give up
I wish I could say that
I don't want to fight you anymore
I don't want to resist you!
but I can't
because
I love everything you do
everything you say
but I have to act like I don't.
I want to say whatever
and just breathe in what you give me
but if I did
they would all stare
and you would get self-conscious.
What i'm doing is good for us
but bad for MY heart.
Theres no point in fighting this
but yet there is.
I want to not care what they think
just care about you and me
but we all know that that isn't realistic.
Everyone cares about what other people think.
They care about
what they think
what they say
what they know.
I wish it wasn't true
but it is.
You know that your glad
whether you'll admit it or not
if I didn't pretend
then everyone would know
that I liked it
and you think you know that  like it
but you don't want to share it with the world.
I'm sick and tired
of people's thoughts
because if it weren't for them
we would have been together by now.
I guess you don't like me enough
to get past other people
and what they say.
If you like me at all.
