I'm Just Trying To Keep My Word: "I Love You"

So many times

In my life

I feel alone

I feel afraid

So many times

In the day

You're gone away

I wish you'd stay... that way



If it were up to me

I'd make our hearts bleed

Just let the pressure out

When we both need to shout

What happened to falling in love?

I thought you were sent from up above

But now it's up to fate

And I am staying up much too late

Without you...



There are so many things

I try to do

So I don't think about you

Like stay up till 2

There's so many things

I'd like to say

But feelings get in the way

So silent I'll stay...except for this



If it were up to you

I think I'd forever disappear

Instead of a whisper in your ear

I'd never say a word

If it were up to you

I'd stop saying the things I do

So that I can keep my mind of you

I know it's absurd...but I'll try and keep my word

"I love you"



I didn't lie to you

I would have laid down and died for you

And you repay me with some feelings

I had thought we worked them out

You said you loved me

And that I was everything to you

So now I cannot figure out

Why everything is so drowned out

"I miss you"

But my words you don't hear

You turn a deaf ear

And thus I disappear

I'll try moving on

Although it's something I don't want to have to do

I'd much rather lay and talk with you

But you have to do it all your way

That if I want it back I cannot stay

It's so unfair, I feel led-on

We're so in love...but yet...you're gone

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Frustration with the situation and how everything seemed to fall apart in an instant, almost without explanation.   I guess I don't understand as much as I thought I did...
