I’m trying to tell my stubborn heart
That it never really cared
I’m trying to catch the falling rain
But I’m failing and I’m scared
You caught my eye and stole my heart
So now it's foreign to me
It beats for you, no longer mine
Just take it and let me be
I think some call this feeling love
I can’t control whatever I feel
When I see you it’s hard to breathe
I don’t know what is real
I love your hair the way it is
Spiky, soft and brown
I love your ears, I never saw
Ears so small or round!
I love your eyes, I know they’re brown
Though I haven’t been blessed to see
I wish I could read just what you think
When those eyes are looking at me
Everything about you inspires my life
I love your every part
I saw you then, but now it’s been
So long it breaks my heart
I had your picture in my mind
I treasured so you’d never die
To remember you so every night
I could think of you and cry
Then summer came how bittersweet
Relieved yet now deprived
I kept my picture as long as I could
But it was as if you’d died
I clung to you with all my might
One summer: how long could it last?
But before two months had run their course
Two months before was so far past
Your picture, precious in my mind
Faded and grew dim
‘Til late one night, awake in bed
I couldn’t remember him
I tried to recall with all my heart
All the capacities of my mind
But at last his picture had faded away
There was none left to find
The motion was there, I know the way
He’d blink, and I used to adore
Yet replay the action as much as I will
He’s not there like he was before
So I’m trying to teach my aching heart
To love is to ask for pain
I’m trying to lose you, I already have
But I’m trying to catch the rain
