Help Me Understand

In the quiet of the night I pause for a moment
I reflect on our relationship
 
My heart doesn't want to let you go
so I hold on tight
But I have my doubts

I wonder if you ever stop what your doing
to think about us too
and if so,do you feel the same way I do

Are we just going through the motions of the day
are there times when you feel 
you have so much to say

What is it that holds us here
our lives our at a standstill
I tell myself if you don't speak soon 
I will
But I don't

Can you help me to understand why
or is it easier that I lay in bed and cry
Because I do
I do
