When you looked into my eyes
And ever after all these years
You couldn't recognize
"Green." I said,
"My eyes are green."
And you shook your head and muttered aloud
"I'd never really seen."
I laughed and changed the subject
Not thinking much of it
But I knew right then a hole had formed
And it wasn't gunna quit
If you had known the color of
My eyes I wouldn't doubt
But I couldn't ignore the complacentcy
That slipped out of your mouth
Whether you never thought to notice
Or you didn't really care
It was those little things that mattered
And those little things weren't there
If you knew the color of my eyes
Perhaps I wouldn't be
Questioning why you'd never thought
To really look at me
I wish you would've commented
On the shade my eyes appeared
When you'd give me the look I'd always hoped
To see after all these years.
But instead you brushed it off
And continued the conversation
And as I ventured to a different place
I had a revelation
If you loved me like you said you did
More notice you would've took
Love doesn't make excuses
For those who don't even think to look.
