I just realized your pain in this
You hid it down, where it was easy to miss
I glossed it over, distracted by mine
But then you told me, with tears in your eyes
You told me how rough it's been
You told me the demons you're fighting
You told me of love, and of kindness and spring
You told me of hate, and of suffering and fall
You told me the in-between in which you are caught
You told me not to worry, but I worry a lot.
You told me it's okay, when I know it isn't
I tell you it's okay, when I know it won't be
It can't be, can it?
That we so young
Can be so in love
Can feel so comfortable with each other
Can see the emotions written on our faces
Can long for the feeling of each other's embraces?
All that we have
It's so special, you see?
I feel like you're perfect
If only to me
Your face gleams so bright, when a smile adorns it
And when a frown appears, the world around you plummets
When I see this side of you, my heart falls
I feel like it's my fault
I'll do whatever you need
Whether leave or stay,
I just want you
To be happy some day
