Can I Keep You?

i felt like Casper.

Its like you're pulling away
I wonder if its something I've done
I love you but
Your so distant its like you're not even here
You say its nothing
But I don't feel that
Like being invisible
That's how I feel with you
Like I don't exist
Wondering if its something I've done
I wish it wasn't like this
But its how I feel
I dunno what to do
I know you're busy
I know all that
But I've been making my own observations
Its like...like...
Like we never met
I hate this feeling
I fight for time with you
But its like its not worth it
I don't get you
I want to
But I can't
Every night I dream
I dream that I'm Casper
Asking the same question
"Can I keep you?"
But it never gets answered
I'm asking you now
Can I keep you?

I love the concept. I love that you use Casper as a point of reference in that you feel like a ghostly presence in someones life. But I also love that line in Casper, it made me tear up the first time I saw the movie (mind you, I was a lot younger than.) The simplistic love that is splayed in that movie can't help but move a person. We all want to share that moment and know that we can have something, that it can be ours.
