Thief

Why'd you do it?

Why'd you steal my heart like that?

Why did you care so deeply for me?

Why did you hold my hand?

Why did you stare into my soul?

Why did you love me?

We seemed too different

Like mountains from the sea

And yet we seem to fit together

Like the hills on the California coast

It seems so lovely

Yet you seem to be a thief

How'd you do it?

How did you steal my heart?

How did you capture my eyes?

How did you pull me under?

How did you carry me away?

How did you make me love you?

And now I miss you

Like corn misses rain in summer

And I wait until we can be together 

Like bulbs wait for the spring sun 

It seems so long

Waiting for the thief to return.

Have I been wrong?

Have I been misguided?

By a heart that led me astray

Was I looking the wrong way?

Have a made a bad choice?

Was it a bad decision to love you?

But I don't doubt it for a second

Like the farmer don't doubt his horse

And I know we were made for each other

Like Sherlock and Watson

It seems so unlikely

But it was so perfectly done.
