What I'd Tell you

[Diggitydave]

You pulled up next to me

I'm going to work

You're going to work

We're both going fast and we're both speeding

 

I'll probably never see you again

You'll probably never see me

If I had a minute of your time

I'd say something witty

 

What would I tell you?

What would you tell me?

Would you want to know i feel like hell today

I'd like to know your story if I may

 

I dont' want people who know me to know

I'd rather you know, so badly

Somehow I think you'd care a lot more

The people around have me on ignore

 

You're just a stranger, as am I to you

We both have weights we want the other to have

I'll take your weight and you take mine

My exit's coming, i dont' have much time

 

How do i trust such a stranger and nobody thats close

I know what i'd tell you

I saw you driving next to me and I fell in love

Here's my exit, goodbye, I pray I pass you again, I love you

How is it that we can talk so openly to a complete stranger and fear sharing with those closest to us?

[hodgo]

ramsickle - its because we're afraid that if we tell them the truth we'll lose them.

Very well written, I can easily relate. Absolutely right, the fear of losing someone close to us is perhaps one of our biggest fears.

Too true. Absolutely true. And most times, telling them the truth does the opposite.
