Right From The Start

I love you and i want to,
Each time i try to,
I see inside to,
The things I hate about you,
You say you've always been this way,
If you had,
Why would i bother to say,
Why would i bother with you,
To begin,
If it had always been this way,
I'd never have thickened my skin,
I'd never have let you go,
Never let the thought of you flow,
Out of my mind into the atmosphere,
Where it's different from down here,
Where you disintegrate and revere,
Wishing that you were here,
Wishing that you were here,
With me,
Where you know you ought to be,
Smiling laughing lovingly,
Never hurting just to see,
Open your eyes dear,
To see all that it is you hear,
Shut your mouth dear,
To the exiting things that sear
into the heart of me,
Breaking me down and leaving me be,
Don't you see just how you've done,
Exactly what you claim you had begun,
Long ago when we first met,
And our hearts hadn't yet,
Known what we would know,
That we would love and we would grow,
Together,
Never did i know what too soon would show,
When it hit me like a hurricane,
I never thought i'd feel the same,
The sheer magnitude that came,
I had to see it was a game,
That you are nothing but a child,
So the words you speak are mild,
Yes you are nothing but a boy,
Sorrow not my heart employ,
For you are just a little boy,
Searching through the world for joy,
Blind to all the change to come,
All other feelings have turned numb,
Maybe someday you'll be blessed again,
And maybe you'll recognize it then,
Don't pass it by and slight it,
Try your best not to fight it,
Let it into your heart,
Right from the start.
