Honor

It‘s a tragedy of sorts when I look into your puppy eyes

I know I‘m meant to think this is inappropriate

But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me

And turn around to give you the cold shoulder

in an effort to make it stop

On one hand, I wish you would disappear into an abyss

and take all the mixed feelings, set me free

But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me

I live through another day behind the counter

in an effort to make it stop

On the other hand, it is you who stares into my eyes

And I‘m wondering who started the masquerade

But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me

And I don‘t really want it to end either

so I don‘t make an effort to make it stop

I‘m wondering what is going to happen with us

It is inevitable that one of us has to leave

But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me

I wish you all the best for your life with her

I will leave in an effort to make it stop
