Loving Alone

down the tears fall 
up the fears crawl 
yet i stand tall 
waiting for loves call 
but inside 
i hide because im shy 
so i hide my love 
finally watch it fly away like a dove 
going high above 
i sit and cry 
and hope and try 
to cover it up before he sees 
how much he really means 
to me hes all i need 
id fall to my knee 
and take his pain 
and bare without strain  
and get to my feet 
and sigh in defeat
