Your smile overshadows your desire to cry but I see the sadness beneath those eyes your soul needs a place to hide and disguise the true feelings you harbor within you Why are you so sad tonight? words come still, yet so contrite don't speak at all - you've got that right that's not been taken from you Can you express how you feel about me? probably not, that's not reality don’t know that I would want to see that I didn't know the right way to love you You matter to me more than words can say but for now I'm just stayin' out of your way ‘til you approach me on your own one day I’ll be ready with these arms to hold you

Ya know how you write something in the moment, then months down the road you read it and can't remember what inspired it? That's this one for me!!
