Romanticized View of Everything, Written To No One

Strap on your guitar, tell me when you heard the words my face came to mind, you don't like country music but you like this song; you think Tim McGraw wrote it just for you to play for me-- "Just to see you smile I'd do anything" your voice is monotone, you're missing all the notes, but when you look me in the eye to say the things you're singing... "When my world goes crazy you're right there to save me" we all want to be love's savior, to give and to get equally with hands that never fold and play the martyr, that can always hold and take away pain-- I'm listening to Tim McGraw's words, only hearing all the ones he left out-- stories of friendship, of care, how it came before this love, how he loved the girl too much to tell her, at least for awhile. Is that too romanticized, or is it hope that will get us there? Am I playing the fool sitting here, writing love poems to no one? I ask these questions every night though they always answer the same-- we've got to care before we can love we've got to love before we can be loved
