To let you know

I can't tell you the thoughts I have inside

I just want to run and hide

Lost inside myself

Putting memories on a shelf

I stay away because I was told

In my soul there is love I hold

I can't be there for you right now

Wandering I wonder how

We can be apart like this

I miss your touch, your kiss

I know why you stay away

But I'm longing for that day

When you return to me

Hoping that's what is meant to be

There's nothing I can do

To prove myself to you

I just want what was

Please show me because

I feel I'm losing you

Don't want it to be true

Looking for answers to my question

And I forgot to mention

That I miss you

And love you too

Hoping you don't throw that away

Please don't walk away

I want you to choose me

There's something you need to see

A life that could happen for us

While I'm still earning your trust

I leave these final words with you

It's not up to me, it's up to you

Unknown

Words whispered softly in the night

Filled with pain, with fright

Will you understand what they mean?

It might not be what it seems

Wanting to let you know, let you hear

All the thoughts I hold dear

But I'm scared inside

Holding in what I hide

Can't see through all the tears

Fighting back all the fears

Left to wander all alone

Feelings yet to be shown

Giving all that I am

Leaving life to plan

Afraid to see what lies before

Could there be less or more?

Thinking what I know to be true

Wondering if I know who

Could release me from this cage

Just more words on a page

This story had no ending yet

Will there be joy or regret?

All I can see

Is who I would be

Something

I'm not strong, not beautiful

I'm not everything everyone needs

Who am I but another promise broken?

You say you want me, need me

Leave me standing there

And I'll wait because you want

Do you realize the depth

The magnitude of what is there?

Are you as lost as I am?

I give to you everything

And hold my breath

Waiting for you to accept

You need that time

That space to find yourself

And I give it to you

I've walked that path

Felt that pain

Encased in solitude and anguish

You don't have to do it alone

Don't have to hold the world yourself

Let me be part of that

Give me a chance

To walk beside you

To show you what love is

Here and now I say the words

I love you, always will

Let yourself be healed
