What Happens – Written Thursday 9th March 1995 (Aged 20)

What Happens

What happens
when you end up depending?
You are never there when people need you;
with her is the time you are spending —
spending all the time you have.

Can’t stop thinking about someone,
can’t stop going through it.

What happens
when you become like this?
I have got to come to terms with it,
and I do not want to face it.

I have fallen for an impossible love —
one I know can give me everything,
except, maybe, that special touch.

What happens?
Tell me, what happens now?
Because you are always there,
and I know she loves and that she cares —
but it is not like that.

What happens…
what happens…
what happens?
