The Poem You Can Never Read

Sometimes fear can catch our tongues Keeping truths enclosed Barring words to pass the lips Words leaving us exposed And maybe that's what's safer Than what I'm about to do But we only get one life to live And in my life, I want you You've been inside my heart now For a long time, but I've been Afraid that it was just me Just a dream that I was in But then you came and touched me And the feelings came alive But I've still kept them quiet Waiting for the perfect time But time keeps ticking past us And perfect, time is not And life goes on without you here And this isn't what I want You won't believe how great you are Well when you're viewed by me You're really unbelievable I just wish that you would see I've seen you become a man In the years you've been around I've seen you go through many things Seen you be up, and then down I've seen you fight for who you love I've seen you win and loose I've seen you go through hard things I've seen you have to choose I've seen how you remember Little silly things each day That means so much more to me Than I could even say I know we come from different worlds, But thats alright by me I know that there are obstacles Probably more than I could see I think I'd go a thousand miles If I could end up in your arms You see, you broke through my hearts barriers Leaving me disarmed As many things as you are One thing that you're without Is eyes to see how much I care I guess I'll have to spell it out My heart wants to be with you For us to have our chance at love And maybe it would work out To be all we've both dreamed of
