Sometimes

Sometimes I cry
 when I realize youre gone
Sometimes I laugh
 but thats not for long
Sometimes I frown
 in the middle of the night
Sometimes I smile
 but thats just out of spite
Sometimes I stand
 for all that I love
Sometimes I sit
 because I lose sight of it all
Sometimes I knee 
 to pray for what I believe
Sometimes I turn my back
 but I am not proud
Sometimes I walk away
 because I cant take anymore
Sometimes you look at me
 sometimes you dont
  sometimes youre there when I need you
    sometimes youre not
Always I smile
 when you appear
Always I run away
 but thats just out of fear
Always I want you
 youre such a great guy
Always I need you
 I can feel it inside
Always I love you
 I'm just not sure why
Never can I approach you
 I'm much too afraid
Never can you know
 because I just dont know why
Never will I utter your name
 for you may laugh
Never will I tell you
 it would hurt too much inside
Someday you may figure it out
 that would be great
Someday you may approach me
 and then I would sigh
Someday you may love me,
 but for now, I die inside.
