Life Could Be Simple

It could all be so much simpler
If you found a way to feel for me –
Something like the way I feel for you.
Much simpler. So much simpler.

But life is far but from simple.
And sometimes, when you fall in love,
The road ahead is anything but straight or smooth.

   And because of all of this, tonight I’m lost in reverie,
   Longing long and lonely, lonely hours away.
   It’s as if I were enchanted; seems so beautiful, but still,
   I wonder, will I ever see again
   That shining fascination in your eyes?

It would all be so much simpler
If you found a way to love me now,
If you felt for me as I believe I’ll always feel for you.

But life, it isn't simple,
No more so than is the fellow
Who could fall so far and deep in love with you.

I can scarcely comprehend
The kind of heart or mind or man
Who could fall so far and deep in love with you.
But that appears to be the man that I am.
And I do.
