Longing In Dreams

Sometimes I long to break down my walls and let them see inside but I did that just the other day and I’ve never felt so defied. I let down my guard so they could see I’m not as perfect as I pretend to be. I hold on blindly to the hope that they will understand I long for tenderness and kindness, I’m really only human. Sometimes I long to hear silly romantic things I pretend to be a realist but I truly want to let my heart sing. I long to hear “I love you” I long to hear “you’re sweet” I long to be called the “most beautiful girl in the world” I don’t want to be seen as cheap. I long for these sweet, silly things that have become my dream. And when I can’t have them in life the thoughts roam my head in sleep.
