Longing
Longing to have a word with you,
Don't know what I should expect, petrified inside feeling like a mirror which would eventually break.
Confused if I should've said it or not,
But I was dying to express myself and you were the only one.
Sincerely apologize if I said too much,
I just could not stop myself, my mind and heart pacing at a rush,
Wish you'd know the guilt I feel, the things I sense so much within.
If only I could say time would heal, hoping someday you would feel.
(For there's only one thing I'd ever want to steal, your entire attention forever I'd seek)
Falling down like the rain, silent sounds tears of pain,
With every drop that goes down the drain, is a moment I'd wished that you I could attain.
Thank you for moments I'd treasure throughout my life, for being the sweetest girl I'd ever met.
There's no doubt that you're one of a kind, so no matter please do always smile.
