  3. For Phil

I can’t explain why I know this is true -
Why your infinite love causes me distress -
Because I don’t feel things the way you do.

Facing your love, I am without a clue -
I am not undone by a purple dress.
I can’t explain why I know this is true.

I know I could not the same bonds undo
On the hope of a better love to bless,
Because I don’t feel things the way you do.

Yet, I think you’re lucky to feel so blue,
Although I will admit, under duress,
I can’t explain why I know this is true.

I will never love the same way as you
(Although I don’t know, I can only guess,)
Because I don’t feel things the way you do.

Even though you think you’re still owed your due,
Yet I know deep inside it makes me less
Because I don’t feel things the way you do.
I can’t explain why I know this is true.
