Because He's Not You

He's never late for dinner
He insist on being on time
His kisses are warm and friendly
But there's no tingle down my spine
He treats me like I'm a lady
With gifts and words of love
His hair is brown, his eyes are blue
And no matter how hard I try
I don't love him because he's not you

He's always considerate of me
Checking that I'm happy and content
His touch is gentle and tender
He's never asked me what I meant
He always makes me comfortable
But there's no fire in my heart
His hair is brown, his eyes are blue
And no matter how hard I try
I don't love because he's not you

He's given me a diamond ring
Saying he's content to be my friend
He doesn't want committment
He just wants my heart to mend
He's kind and always generous
But there's no love light in my eyes
His hair is brown, his eyes are blue
And no matter how hard I try
I don't love him because he's not you

I'm hoping that this time I'll work it out! Yes a story, that seems to me to keep on going.

empty love...its so sad...sometimes it will suffice, but only for a little while...

well written marsha   could feel the longing for something real that got away..

Thanks Dee you are so right, sometimes you can try but it just doesn't work!

I suppose the sad part of this is he could never make you happy because in your mind or heart he is not the right one so you will be less appreaciative of all his efforts.  James

That's right James, I kept trying, but it was never going to work! The worst thing is 'he' is such a nice person, with all the qualities that the other lacked!
