you don't know it,
but my heart is slowly dying.

each day with no reply,
i can't even breathe.

i try to act normal,
but everything is a mess now.

you're too busy for me,
and i'm not enough for you.

i should let go,
but i need you tonight.

i willingly dove in,
knowing my heart would
bleed and shatter.

for your eyes were as blue
as the sea, and your smile;
the sweetest one i'd seen.

this simple concept,
can bring clarity to all
or it can sting like a bee.

so simple in nature,
yet so hard to deliver.
what a mystery.
Hm. What is it?

afraid of rejection,
waiting constantly
for a "right" time.
just speak truth
into their lives;
it's always the
right time to
do that.

this forbidden feeling,
so strong,
yet so wrong.

it could end all we've built,
it could break our hearts.

it could leave us breathless,
it could make our hearts ever so glad.
stupid feelings...

those three little words,
they warm my heart
like no others.

saying them for the first time
gives me butterflies,
hoping you feel the same.

Every day I feel my body getting older,
my soul wiser,
but the way my heart breaks
shows me I will forever have a youthful heart.
