I know

 I know I don’t have the right
To be jealous or hurt
After all, I started the fight
I still hate to see you flirt

I know I don’t have the right
To say that when I’m not in your arms
It seems like I can’t breathe
I know I shouldn’t want to cause him harm
But I never expected you to just leave

I know I don’t have the right
To call you angel, or sweetheart or baby
I can’t stop my heart
From jumping at the thought of maybe
If I play it smart
You might take me back

I know I don’t have the right
To ask you for a kiss
But when you take me in your arms
My world just turns to bliss
All agonies erased no reason for alarm

I know I don’t have the right
To expect you to be there
I pushed you away
And this time life was fair

I know I don’t have the right
To wish that you could see
We’ve lost each other but we’re still right here
I love you and you love me
How can we be so far away, and at the same time oh so near

I know I don’t have the right
To write this poem and show it to you
It’s a dirty trick and maybe even cruel
For I know what it will do
I love you but I’ve been a fool
Can we try again?
