there is so much I want to say to you
but should I really say it?

I want to tell you just how beautiful you are
I want to tell you how much you mean to me

but I'm afraid that if I do
it will only add to your troubles
no matter where else I vent my feelings to, I don't know how I can keep it from her
Billy Cooper May 2013
there is only one thing I want to know
but I'm too afraid to ask

do you trust me?

you tell me everything is fine
you say that you have no problem with me

but I know at least one of those is false

I know you enough to look behind your mask
I see it all in your face

there is more going on that what you say

I don't know if it was something I did
I don't think you would hide without reason

*please tell me what is really happening
Billy Cooper Feb 2013
she has done nothing wrong
so why must she suffer?

she only wants to be happy
but she faces problem after problem

she is completely innocent
but she is crushed by lover and friend alike

so why must she suffer
when she only wants to be loved?

your argument is tearing me apart
so please
don't fight

neither of you will end up any better
so please
don't fight

I don't want you to stop poetry in fear of her
so please
don't fight

I'm begging you
both of you
*please don't fight
Billy Cooper Feb 2013
please don't do this
please don't give up your writing

burying your feeling will only make them worse
please leave this part of your life intact

so please don't give up
*don't give up poetry

I see us together
at my aunt's house during Thanksgiving

we are happy with no worries
just like my cousin and his girlfriend

we are loving each other
having a good time

oh how I wish this could be real
you are the most caring girl I have ever met. I wish this could be us.

I never thought this would happen again
but I am falling once more
I just hope I don't do something stupid

I am finally close to you
your beautiful face and curly hair as gorgeous as ever
all our worries melting away as we are caught in an embrace
I'm starting to make a series of fantasies about "perfect moments" I imagine in my head. none of these happened, but I wish they would
Billy Cooper Apr 2013
I see us together on a hill
our bodies silhouetted by the sunset
as we sit together on the back of a parked truck
we feel the romance building in the air
came from a dream I had once
Billy Cooper Apr 2013
I am searching for you in a large crowd
disaster looming in the air
when we finally find each other and share a kiss
everything seems better again
came from another dream
Billy Cooper Apr 2013
I know you
better than you fake it
I know that you are not ok

but the thing that is bothering me...
after all those nights
why are you hiding it?
Billy Cooper Jun 2013
Miles away from home
I can feel the calm evening
The distant birds chirping
Everything is beautiful

The only way to make this moment better
Is to share it with you
Billy Cooper Feb 2013
my deepest feelings are mostly controlled
but sometimes they run wild

there are times when I have the same dream
of you and me, sitting together
as boyfriend and girlfriend

I sometimes thinkk of how I want us to be
I want to kiss you and say the words "I love you"
I want to compliment you, and brighten your day
when you are sad, I want to comfort you
because I can't stand to see the frown on your face

I want to do whatever I can to please you
because when you are happy, I'm hapy

it's all up to you, you know
I only hope that you will choose me
it's all out now
Billy Cooper Apr 2013
one little mistake
I made long ago

didn't think it mattered
but it made things worse

I hope I can fix this
*I only have one chance
Billy Cooper Feb 2013
it is hard to describe
just how perfect you are

your beautiful brown eyes
look straight into my heart

your curly brown hair
cannot look any better

your cheerful smile
always brightens my mood

you once complained about how thin you are
but I think you are the prettiest girl in the school
I just wish I could tell you this face to face
Billy Cooper Apr 2013
of course there is something wrong
everything seemed well for too long

that was the quiet
here comes the storm
Billy Cooper Mar 2013
can't you see
that she is masking herself
just to hide from you?

so please leave her alone
stop in your tracks and stop digging
because it can only end in pain.
Billy Cooper Apr 2013
you are so smart
I dont dare to compare myself

you are so beautiful
I'm afraid to be near you

you are so sweet
it's hard to stay away
Billy Cooper Jun 2013
The few times I can talk to you
I don't know what to say

But now it's too late
Because you are half a world away
Literally :/
Billy Cooper Feb 2013
I wish I could see your face
one more time

being away from you
on this long weekend
is almost more than I can bear

I will be counting the days
until I can see you again

— The End —
