Getting Real

So sad, so true, My silent feelings for you. Can't speak, can't seek, I hide when I am weak. Tears well, heart fails, Loveless life so frail. Remembering laughter and joy, Love is not a toy. Memories and dreams, Lost to silent screams. I didn't know the truth In my youth. To learn too slow, To fall down, to grow. To feel, It's hard to get real.
