Break the Fall
You want to say "I love you"
but you've kept it to
"goodnight".
You know love involves some
falling, and I'm afraid of
heights.
Time has completely stopped
before me, I'm frozen I don't
know what to do.
Everything I see, hear, say
reminds me of you.
Even though this won't last
forever, I still feel a piece of me
has been severed.
I should have told you while I
had the chance.
The chance to hold you pull you
in close...
I've been fighting these
mocking ghosts.
For you I'll conquer my fears
and fight back overflowing
tears.
I'm willing to take the fall.
The fall for you, into your
arms, and soon your heart.
The fact we are separated tears
me apart.
They calming sound of your
voice, the way you laugh, the
way you smile, bring it back!
How long is a little while? It's
only been a few days and I'm
going insane, how can I focus
when unspoken words linger in
my lungs and brain?
Would it help if I said it now?
Would it make things worse?
Would it break your heart?
Would you believe me if I said,
would you believe it was true,
if I looked at you in the eye,
and said that "I love you"?
