There's this girl in my life
That frankly I like.
But for now she won't know
The feelings I hide.
I'm too scared to show
These feelings inside.
So I'll laugh and I'll cry,
I'll dance and I'll sing
'Til one day I try
To soon make you see
That I want you
To like me too.

I've never been good at love
Or loving
Or feeling anything really.
I've felt anger
More than anything else,
But I would let myself
Fall
If it meant feeling
Something more.

I yearn for love
And the simple touch
Of one hand
In mine.

The forces of all nature
Weigh onto me heavily.
All I want is for you to
Look at me
As I look at you.
But how could you?
You are lovely
And I am me.
It's fine though.
I will be happy
When I see you again.

A thousand believers
All chanted in love.
I listened and sang.
I shouted and cried.
"God let me believe."
I tried to call out.
"Please let me feel
The way they do.
I want to believe"

The chant swelled into
A light call for some,
And a desperate plea to me
Until the nothingness gave me
The moment I first believed.

Love is understanding
where you should be.
Near or far

This beautiful girl will never notice me.
She's intelligent and serious, yet silly.
She will never look my way.
I scare people and am just too rude.
She will never think of me.

I desire simply to ask her out.
To go see a few sights and discuss
Something only weird pretentious people understand.
I would love to hold her hand
And hear her sweet nothings.
I would sing and write poems for you.
I would savour every word you said
Because I don't get much.

You would mean the world to me.

I was holding your hand in a dream
So everything left.
I wish for a smile that I cannot bring
To a face that has gone.

You asked me once why I would act
Like I do.
I only ever wanted to selfishly keep
You.

You ran away like a sane person would
So I must ask what you would have said.

That table that day.
When you forgave me, and shook hands.
If I stayed longer, would we have
Understood each other a little?

Or would it end the same with a sad boy and a girl that he will always trust.
