Why Can't We Love Each Other?

You have become so important I have to admit

I can see my life fuller with you being in it

I like you so much and the feeling's maturing

You have me constantly wondering—with my imagination soaring

But, you just can't love me back

Why can't we love each other?
Become a strong unit of a black sister and a brother

Be everything we ever needed and a blessing in disguise

And get into each other—get lost in each other's eyes

But, you just can't make the commitment, huh?

Why can't you see, that in me, you've got the love that's for real?

I couldn't see myself hurting you—that's on the real

See the love and admiration in each smile, each hug, each kiss

Made of lovely days and beautiful nights we can, later, reminisce

But, I guess you've got to weigh your options—am I correct?

Why can't we love each other?

Yes, I meant to put the emphasis on “we”

I don't want to start a love affair where the only caring comes from me

Who wants to be in a one-sided relationship?

Or, fake out like I can just regress back to friendship

I've done it before and it was quite a hard trial

Then, I finally found that I was in denial

I don't want that kind of pain anymore

The kind I bring to my own front door

The kind of pain I just can't shake

`Cause, when I lied to myself, I made my own mistakes

I think I've just answered my own question…

Since you can't love me, I've got to go—I'll keep in touch

I'm not mad at you, honey—I just love me too much

I love me enough to be aloneand content

I'll just get used to the fact that you don't want a commitment

And I'll just see you when I see you, but, not for a while

Cause games and mind-playing tend to cramp my style

I think I now know why we can't love each other

Cause this sweet, caring sister can't have an unconcerned brother
