Not Now

I tried to be numb
But I guess I’m dumb
I should just let this go
Or I’ll be in sorrow

I want to feel again
But I don’t want to yet
Not now for I’m not set
To have feelings again

I don’t want to hurt someone
Always a doubt on my mind
I’ll just wait that it’ll be gone
Go and leave nothing behind

Let me bury these feelings
Let me hurt, so you won’t be
I’m glad to see you smiling
I’m glad that you are happy
