The Poem You Can Never Read
Sometimes fear can catch our tongues
Keeping truths enclosed
Barring words to pass the lips
Words leaving us exposed
And maybe that's what's safer
Than what I'm about to do
But we only get one life to live
And in my life, I want you
You've been inside my heart now
For a long time, but I've been
Afraid that it was just me
Just a dream that I was in
But then you came and touched me
And the feelings came alive
But I've still kept them quiet
Waiting for the perfect time
But time keeps ticking past us
And perfect, time is not
And life goes on without you here
And this isn't what I want
You won't believe how great you are
Well when you're viewed by me
You're really unbelievable
I just wish that you would see
I've seen you become a man
In the years you've been around
I've seen you go through many things
Seen you be up, and then down
I've seen you fight for who you love
I've seen you win and loose
I've seen you go through hard things
I've seen you have to choose
I've seen how you remember
Little silly things each day
That means so much more to me
Than I could even say
I know we come from different worlds,
But thats alright by me
I know that there are obstacles
Probably more than I could see
I think I'd go a thousand miles
If I could end up in your arms
You see, you broke through my hearts barriers
Leaving me disarmed
As many things as you are
One thing that you're without
Is eyes to see how much I care
I guess I'll have to spell it out
My heart wants to be with you
For us to have our chance at love
And maybe it would work out
To be all we've both dreamed of
