Paper Life

unknown feelings

How could I begin to tell you
The way my heart beats
Only for you
Strong and steady
Taking a breath now

I haven't breathed easy in years
You came along and I suddenly
Felt so alive
I began to breathe and knew
I never wanted to let go

I imagined what it would be like to have your lips on mine
Gentle and soft
Rough but smooth
No first kiss could be sweeter

Would I be good
Would I be bad
If Only you know my unknown feelings for you

I imagine our meeting again a dozen times in my head
Tackling you in a hug
Hugging you tight with tears in my eyes

You would ask what was wrong
My answer would always be you'll never know how much I missed you
Many nights spent awake crying in agony
Wishing you were here

I was tired of being alone
I realized that now
My feelings had been unknown
You were just too perfect
It was driving me crazy

Would I tell you as we sat and looked at the stars
Would I tell you while we shared music at a bar
Would I tell you over dinner
Or while on a walk to the dorm
These feelings must always remain unknown to you
I can't screw this up now or ever
You're too important to me
The unknown feelings can wait to dissolve
I won't be stirred
