Not a day has ever gone by,

Where I haven't thought of you.

Simply a shadow of the girl we all knew.

A whisper of what once was.

When we're together, I see the shimmer

Like water in the sunlight

You still know how to glisten, how to glimmer.

But when he's there, or even mentioned

So quickly I see the clouds set in.

I wonder if you see how my heart breaks...

I'm not the only one.

I'd do anything to show you, you ARE loved.

But it's his approval you crave.

Still stubborn enough not to admit this

Please be brave enough not to give him his wish

What can I do? What can I say?

You tell me you know, but it's been more than 30 days

You still haven't called.

I feel my heart break.

All I can wonder

Is, "What will it take?"
