Elephant

The Elephant in the room
Are these feelings I have for you
You told me once
To keep them to myself
Why would I do that?
Why would I stop being me?
Why would I stop shouting from the rooftops
How I feel about you?
Just because you have a new man
It doesn’t mean my feelings will change
Just because you call me names
It doesn’t mean my feelings will change
Elephants have thick skin
Calling me names doesn’t hurt
Elephants have long memories
I remember the things you said
In the first moments
Of our love being born
I wear this Elephant around my neck
I wear it with pride
It fits me well
The Elephant in the room
Are these feelings I have for you
Elephants can live to be 80
These feelings will live that long
The Elephant in the room
Are these feelings I have for you
