I could write you the most beautiful poem you'd ever read
Or compose the most harmonious song you'd ever listen.

I could tell you,
That I want you so bad.

But I won't.



I could tell you,

That your hair moves like water, flowing gently,
Waving, like the ocean, full of passion,
Both aggresive and kind at the same time.
It's hard to ignore such an hypnotic motion.
And you could fear it, 'cause you know you might drown,
It could pull you down into the deepest,
Darkest abyss in the sea, where the sun never shines.
Or it could swing you gently, make you feel free,
Take you somewhere else, to a place you've never been before,
Full of new emotions and sensations.

But I won't.



I could tell you,

That I'm addicted to your stare and your smile
Because everytime I look into your eyes,
I can see that shy, sweet, happy little girl.
Because I don't JUST SEE your smile,

I feel it.

Like a warm hug that embraces my soul.
And I don't want to look away, no.
I wonder, what would it be like to touch you then?
Would I burn if the hug was physical?
Will I burst into flames with the simple contact of our skin?
What if you could read my thoughts?
What if you could feel like I feel?

But I won't.



I could tell you,

That there's not a single day in wich
The thought of you doesn't cross my mind,
In wich I don't torture myself wondering where you are.
And I've died so many times waiting,
Fighting against the voices inside of my head.
Where? When? Who? And Why?
I have more questions than answers.

But I won't.



I could tell you,

That your're beautiful, amazing, friendly,
Unique, special, sweet, gentle, honest,
Humble, funny, charismatic, gracious,
Fabulous, brilliant, sincere, authentic,
Fascinating, extraordinary, charming,
Goodhearted, generous, peaceful,
Gorgeous, truthful, brave, courageous
Priceless, precious, wise, attractive.
So many things, that you'd probably get bored.
Simply perfect.

But I won't.



Why not?

Because I'm not brave like you,
And I'm afraid of where these words might lead.


Will you stay or will you leave?
