I can't breath around you
Because deep breaths fill my lungs with an aroma that overwhelms me
And because emotions that awaken because of you have taken a home within my heart and haven't made room for air yet
I can't stand around you
Because my knees quiver with thoughts of your face
My head drifts into your deep ocean eyes
And butterflies try to escape threw my thoughts and only come out in stutters
I can't think around you
Because the stories that are strung between your silk lips dance to the melody of my eardrums
leaving me in a confused state of awe
And I can't hold your hand
Because you fear they'll remove it
like were thieves at a market
And I can't kiss you
Because you fear creeping eyes
ready to sink their fangs into the rumors
And I can't say I love you
Because you fear the whisper
running around changing tales into reality within our piers
And we can never be together
Even though the people who matter
Stand ready with their broadswords
To fight the devils that follow us home
Even if their fire breath rains down like
missiles exploding at our feat
leaving burns Of the third degree
melting away our flesh
and exposing our bone
At Least they'll see that inside we are the same
But that doesn't matter to you
And if you never learn to care
I can't stand to be with you
