What Will It Take?

This started out as lyrics I wrote for a Jem fanfiction back in the late 1990s/early 2000s. I re-worked the lyrics into a poem a few years back, and I wrote this version on November 14, 2007. It's from the point of view of a speaker who is interested in pursuing a relationship with someone, but it appears that person doesn't reciprocate the speaker's feelings.


What will it take to make you see
That you're the only one for me?
Why won't you try and look my way
And listen to the things I say?


What will it take to realize
That I should be right by your side?
Why don't you want to spend the night?
I know you know that this ain't right


Do I have to walk on water to prove
That what I feel for you is true?
You must know these feelings aren't new
Inside I know you love me, too


What will it take to open your eyes?
What will it take to make you realize?
What will it take for you to notice me?
What will it take to make you see?


What will it take?
