Emotions are a Funny, Complicated Thing.

i see you

Amber eyes

I can see his pain.

Rosy cheeks

He's too shy for his own good

Hair the color of ebony

But it doesn't match his soul

Genuine smile

That doesn't reach his eyes.

I see you

But you don't see me

Looking down

Missing life's moments

Alone

Let me in and you won't have to be

I don't know why

Or what made you this way

But I know what it feels like to be in pain

Every time you walk by

And never say hi

It kills me inside

I've decided to take a leap of faith

I want to end your pain

It's burning me inside

Watching you live like this

The world doesn't need to fall on your shoulders

So I'll do what others are afraid to do

I'll say hello

I'll say hello with the most genuine smile

So you can forget the pain

Forget the loneliness

Forget everything you think of the world

Let me in please

"Hello."

Amber eyes filled with surprise

Rosy cheeks

Redder than ever

Hair the color of ebony

Messier than usual

Genuine smile

And for once it's real

"Hi."

I see you

And for once you see me too.
