Please Say Yes

You misunderstood
It was hesitation
It was fear
Of jumping into a deep dark pool
Of unknown 
Possibilities 

You misunderstood
It wasn’t rejection
Talk to me
But you shut your doors
Of limitless
hope
 
It was too late

Who are you?
Did we meet?
How could you forget
Everything we shared
All the memories
Times we laughed
And cried
In a Flash

I thought I could reach your heart
But the ice wall was too thick
I couldn’t break it
I’m sorry
And was pulled into darkness
Once again

Time passed

Someone was able to break the ice
It wasn’t me
Of course not
I couldn’t feel
I couldn’t talk
Choked
At the important moment

Now I'm in fear
Forever
What if
It happens again
And again
And again
I couldn’t bear it
So I swore
To never open up
Keep out
No one allowed in

But I can still dream
In the blackened
Isolation

I’d think
A lot
And smiled
And cried
And died

But 

If I’d ask you once again
Do you remember the old times?
Do you remember loving me?
Would you say yes?
Please say yes

Please
Say
Yes
You don’t even have to mean it
