The heavy light beneath my eyelids keeping me from closing them
That warm orange light that seems to radiate from your voice
I can't stop thinking about you
How you are, who you are
Why we are here together, even for this tiny moment
I want to say I love you ,but the words fall short of my tongue ,
I catch myself on the words that I know you aren't ready to hear yet, and ones I'm not willing to say
And yet I continue the melody, writing more and more onto that shrinking page
Filled with words neither of us can pronounce or understand
But how must it feel from your side
I don't know if you can see it in the way I talk, or the way I flirt
Or the way I wake up in the morning and you are my first thought
I
Iove
You
I love the thoughts of you and I sleeping next to eachother beneath the stars and getting warm from the cold winter air
I love the taste of your words in my mouth when I repeat them to myself when reading your name
I'm scared of my love for you
Because I'm afraid you don't love me
As stupid as it sounds, every you do says "I love you" but yet you can't
I don't blame you for that
It's not your fault, but hurt it does nonetheless
