You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shade when it&#039;s shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes, you close your window. So that&#039;s why I&#039;m scared when you say you love me.<br /> ~Bob Marley


If I could write the lyrics

To a song about my life

You'd never understand the words

You'd never see it right


If I could write a poem

To make it sweet and clear

You'd get the meaning twisted

To something no where near


If I could write a novel

Of my every waking day

You'd have so many questions

Your mind a disarray


If I could draw a picture

In hopes you'd see me through

You'd only see the colors

It'd make no sense to you


If I could make a movie

And explain each tiny part

You'd only see the picture

You wouldn't see my heart
