If I tell you, will you hear?
Will you chase away my fear?
If I tell you, will you stay,
Or let my heart just fade away?
You built a world inside my mind,
A love so deep, yet undefined.
You gave me warmth, then turned to cold,
A story half of which was told.
Some nights, I think it’s best to lose,
To free myself from love’s tight noose.
No more waiting, no more pain,
No more crying in the rain.
But then you come, like you always do,
With words so soft, with eyes so true.
And suddenly, I lose the fight,
Sinking back into your light.
It’s always been about your way,
If you want me, then you stay.
If you don’t, then that’s just fine,
You’ll be a friend—just not quite mine.
You never called me yours, it’s true,
Yet somehow, I still run to you.
You never stopped me from goodbye,
But knew I’d never even try.
For my heart is yours, it always was,
A silent vow, an unbroken cause.
And so I stay, though torn apart,
Still aching for your absent heart.
Even if it burns inside,
I’d rather hurt than say goodbye.
I hate that I love you far too much,
That I still crave your slightest touch.
But maybe love is meant to ache,
To bend, to break, yet never shake.
So here I stand, though it’s not fair,
Trapped between hope and lost despair.
Yours to hold, or yours to break,
Yours forever, for love’s own sake.
