Not That Different

She said, "We're much too different,
We're from two separate worlds."
And he admitted she was partly right
But in his heart's defense he told her
what they had in common
was strong enough to bond them for life
He said, "Look behind your own soul...
and the person that you'll see
Just might remind you of me...
I laugh...I love...I hope..I try
I hurt..I need..I fear...I cry
and I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different: me and you."

She could hardly argue
with his pure and simple logic
But logic never could convince the heart.
She had always dreamed of loving
someone more exotic
and he just didn't seem to fit the part
So she searched for greener pastures
but never could forget
what he whispered when she left...

Was it time
Or was it truth
Maybe both led her back to his door
As her tears fell at his feet
she didn't say "I love you"
what she said meant even more:
"I laugh..I love...I hope..I try
I hurt..I need...I fear...I cry
And I know you do the same things too
so we're really not that different...
No...we're really not that different: me and you.
