So close

Staring at the face of your lover

Why can't they see how much you need them?

They don't know how much you need to contain yourself from shouting at the top of your lungs, until your voice is hoarse and broken

'I LOVE YOU!'

Is what you want to scream

You want to yell and holler and shout  tell them how much they mean to you

Even though you know you are invisible to them

You try to gather up the courage to tell them

How much you love them

How you need them

And how important they are to you.

Every ounce of human in your soul, in your mind and in your heart

Is screaming at you to tell them

But it's never that easy

Because when you look at them, all confidence melts away

And sinks down the drains

Cause you're too scared that they'll run and hide

Hate you forever.

So you keep quiet and silently pray they will take notice.

((Ow, this is so terrible it hurts))
