Another Day of Loving You

You look so good in those glasses,
sitting next to me, I'm gonna play it cool for you.

Can't you see yourself? You might be mistaking
that empty chair for you. Look closer and there you are,
my arm around you, you with such an excited smile, like
a girl on her first date.

It is always like that with you.

If you could see behind these glasses of mine you would see
me holding back tears. They well up inside me as my love
for you overflows, until they start finding their way out, first through
my eyes, then my runny nose and bent brow. The pressure of love in my body
cannot be contained though I sometimes try to hold myself together.

That is me in the chair next to you and you are so clear. That is me
in the chair next to you holding it together for another day of loving you.
