The Truth


His words are saying

I don’t want you that way

His body language

Tries to push me away

 

Whenever I’m around him

I just want to hold him in my arms

To tell him that I love him

And to keep him from harm

 

He pushes me away

And then he holds me close

He tells me that he wants me

And then he just says no

 

I know that he’s a jerk

But sometimes he’s just so sweet

Like when he holds me in his arms

And he opens up to me

 

He tells me his hopes

His dreams, and his fears

And even though we’re far apart sometimes

Remembering makes me feel so near

 

So near to him, like I’ve never been

A confidant, maybe more than a friend

But what he doesn’t know is what I see

That in his eyes…he really loves me

 

And though he’d never admit it

Though he’d never say a word

Sometimes…sometimes I wish he would

And when we part, it wouldn’t hurt

 

He doesn’t want to get in my way

Wants me to succeed

To move on, and move away

But…he is all I need

 

Music, it’s my dream

It’s everything in a shell

And while it helps sometimes when we’re apart

Every song reminds me of him and it feels like hell

I love music and writing. I write what others (and myself) are afraid to say out loud.
