Here I am crying
But I'll never let you see
The pain I am in.

For you I cry.
For you I bleed.
For you I scream
My wants and needs.

Each day I strain
To see your face,
But I only feel pain
And a loss of hope.

For you I smile.
For you I cry.
For you I sing
An unchained melody.

Here I stand.
And here I wait
In hopes if seeing
Your face tonight.

In this world
We are told how to act.
We are told how to speak.
We are told how to look.

In this world
We are told what is acceptable.
We are told what to wear.
We are told what to eat.

In this world
Everyone seems miserable.
Everyone seems lonely.
Everyone seems poor.

In my world
We are told how to think for ourselves.
We are told what we have always wanted to hear.
Everyone seems wanted.

I miss your kisses on my forehead.
My bed feels empty without you.
I remember everything you said.
I remember all the things you said we would do.

But now you have left me here.
I cry every night.
I only wish you could be near.
With you gone, nothing is right.

I may be broken now,
But you, I could never betray
And so I'll take my final bow.
But know that I still love you as I walk away.

So this is love.
This feeling of euphoria that can't be explained.
I think of you all day.
I can't shake this feeling that we are meant to be.
I love you like nothing and no one else.

So this is love.
Skin touching skin.
Under the covers and in each others arms.
Everything feels so right.
I want to be with you forever.

So this is love.
As we grow old together.
Your smile brightens my days.
Your kisses warm my soul.
I want to always be by your side.

My mind is open,
But my my heart is closed.
I want to love you
The way you love me.
But my heart belongs with him.

I don't know how many years I have cried in my lifetime, but I know that they will never stop flowing for you.
