This pain I feel is unbearable I feel as though I am slipping into darkness I want you so bad, it is killing me This yearning, burning desire that is like fire Scorches my soul to blackened ashes The need to hold you close Over powers the thought of letting you go Can you see my torment? I try to keep it hidden within Yet I feel as though I may be failing Do you feel as I do? No, I do not believe that you do There is so much life flowing within you Yet beyond the happy smile, jokes, and laughs I sense sadness within you that you cannot let pass I sit here and imagine us happy together But then reality kicks in and I imagine you with another I wish that could be me you hold in your embrace I yearn to feel the warmth that you can provide Alas, not all wishes come true So I will shut my eyes and dream of you If only things were different Then maybe you and I could be But I will pretend nothing is wrong And be the friend you want and need
