Our hands may link together
but our hearts’ beat out of sink
and we never see eye to eye.
We may share the night together
but we never share our days
and we never make the time.
If love was supposed to be mutual,
why do I find my love weighing more
than your love that sits across from mine?
If love was supposed to be deep,
why do I only hear your sweet little lies more
than the large truths hiding behind your eyes?
Love can hold a heart to a flame
But love cannot foster one’s respect
for another if there is no respect in the first place.
You may love your partner,
But do you respect them?
You may respect your lover,
But do you love them just the same?
So while our hands may link together,
and we may share the night together,
The love and respect we carry for each other
may never ever align.
