If Love Is Not Enough

How many should haves

How many should have nots

How many I wish we hads lie between us

For two basically well intentioned people it seems to me our failures just demean us

Is it lack of self regard

It should not be this hard

I want to know

If love is not enough then what's enough

I am listening

If love is not enough what keeps the moon bright

What keeps the ocean glistening

You think it's you

I think it's me

If love is not enough than what else can it be

When I get up to see the powers that be

I know there's one question I'll bring

How can two people look at the same love

And see two completely different things

It hurts to say the heavy stuff

So we say it lightly

And I'm amazed at how often I catch us both smiling

If only slightly

But it's maddening

It's saddening

And I want to know

If love is not enough then what's enough

I am waiting

Is there something I should know about the thin ice on which the survivors are skating

You think it's me

I think it's you

If love is not enough then what else can we do

So we go on

Put on the brave face

But it makes me want to scream

I quit

I give up

I will claw my way out of this bad

Bad dream

I love you still

If love is not enough then what's enough

Can you hear me

I'm sick of the burns I've got on my body from all the perfectly good loves exploding near me

What else can I say

If love is not enough then we will go on loving anyway
