You Are Not Him

I know it is wrong, it can't be right 
As you hold me  into the night
It is him on my mind, him whom I see 
The warmth of your body is him touching me
As I look in your eyes darkened with gray 
Your cold beating heart has made me this way
Life is not changing so it must be me 
Rotating seasons I just can't see
Show me a smile I'll show you a tear 
Tell me of laughter I'll tell you of fear
Standing in shadows alone in the night
Hiding in corners away from the light. 
Looking at you, looking at me 
No, you are not him and never will be.
