With ***** in my veins
And you in my heart
Swear I've loved you from the start

I wanted to love you
But my walls were too high
And so you turned around
And walked away

I wish I had the courage to say
"Stay"
I wish I had the courage to say
"I love you"

And above all I wanted
The guts to kiss you on the lips,
Whisper and say,
"I love you, please stay."

You wish your heart would stop beating
So loudly.
And that your mind would stop racing
So fast.
But he's in your thoughts again
Along with a whirlwind of memories.
And here comes that feeling you thought you'd forgotten.

The past few days all I can think is:
Words are
Harsh,
Cruel,
And bitter.

They can shake the world
And tear someone apart

But as humans,
we sometimes forget
words can also be beautiful,
And loving,
And kind.

Exactly like people.

I've had the affection
of so many
and yet,
I only want you.

Made me realize
I deserve more
Than pretty words

I wanted you to stay.
Oh so badly.
I wanted to call after you,
and tell you to come back
and everything would be okay.
I wanted you to stay-
Just for another day-
and maybe you would love me
the way that I loved you.
