I stare off into the distance, fighting with myself Struggling to keep quiet, to not say so many things Things that shouldn't be said from me, to you I want to ask you, but I can't speak I want to tell you, but the words won't come And so this battle between silence and truth continues... But, you know it all, without a word spoken You see that I want to hold you, without having to let go That I want to kiss you in the rain,underneath a lovers' sky I yearn to hold you, through the night, until dawn Then to kiss your face,as you shake the sleep from your eyes I realize that you see that, written plainly on my face Though, I try, try, try to not be so obvious To not be so painfully starry-eyed and wanting But, it's all just foolishness, and it's just for show For I know in my heart that I cannot hide from you As they say, I am an open book... But, I am ashamed of nothing, what I feel is what I feel And, yes, I know that I feel more than I should It's more than I should say and yet...how can I not? I hear you speak of choices, that are yours alone I know it's your choice, and your decision But, do not speak to me of chains, for those I do not offer I offer nothing more and nothing less than love...my love And that is me, being sincere and honest I'm done hiding what cannot be hidden |
