I could always say that you had me at hello,
I could always prove that you mattered more.
I could always recall the stories we shared together;
I could always see you in anything and everything I do.
I could always read the emotions in your eyes,
I could always tell what might be running through your mind with the way you act.
I could also say to anyone who asks that I do love you.
I could... but I won't.
It's not because I can't that I won't,
But for the reason, that I have no right to do so.
I can always shout to the world these things and more
To show you just who and what you are to me
I would have done all that, had you given me the chance.
However...
All these things will just remain as a secret between the paper and me
It will wither and be forgotten as Time keeps on moving,
Taking it and this feeling to pass by without your knowledge
It will not reach your ears nor will you hear it from my lips.
So there's no reason to worry.
You'll live through with your life as I watch on how you move on with him.
Because this is better than losing you in the end
After all, I was just the silly boy who did nothing but annoy you
Just to have your attention.
