That
     Flame
          You
               Lit
                    Without
                         Knowing
                    Is
               Now
           But
     Slowly
Burning

I
   Thought
          I
             Already
                   Put
                        That
                             Out
                                  Then
                             Never
                         Realized
                    I
               Never
        Really
Can

The voice I posses is no greater than the rest
My mind's no better I can't take just any test
I cry with little things, laugh with the same
Surely to no one, greater I came

But to be adored by many is not what I intend
Just to be loved deeply by someone I depend
With his whole heart, his being, his soul
One who I could also love without control

We might not be as infinite as one until three
But our own infinity is enough, just enough for me
That love you gave, you gave it true
There's nothing more I could ask, just another chance to be with you

I did have dreamed of summer nights and romantic flings
I did have longed for a taste of true love's sweet kiss
I did have wished for a love so sweet, so nice and true
But I did not hope that I would get those as lies from you

Deep sorrow and agony fell
Emptiness and unfeeling grows
A good thing or not it tells
People stare but no one truly knows

More and more they came
Less and less of you comes along
A good thing or not it tells
You still hope and hope and hope and long

In the blur of everything perfect around,
You couldn't even hear what you sound.
You can't see how desperate you've come to be,
How, little by little, you didn't let yourself free.

You've come to hate who you are.
You didn't even let yourself see the stars.
Caged inside of you, you didn't let them shine through,
Believing they're not there, you kept the key for only you.

You've always thought that perfection is the key.
No matter what, that's what you have to be.
Expected the worst, hoped for the best,
With luck, you left the rest.

It's not what's important yes you knew.
But you didn't want to hear it, didn't want it to ring true.
It was hard yes, it really was indeed.
But really, what did you hope it would be?

It wasn't a walk in the park but finally, you understood.
That it's okay, that you are still you.
You didn't have to prove yourself, that you should be extraordinary,
It's okay, whatever you are, whatever you've come to be.

Accepting yourself truly is what's best.
You needed it, to endure that depressing test.
Sure it's hard, it's okay not to be okay,
But remember to stand up, remember to, ultimately, be brave.

Yes, I wanted you
But really,
I needed you more
