Things I Wish I could Say

There is so much I want to tell you that I can't.

You’re the only person who knows the real me

Even I don't know who she is anymore.

Did I ever?

But you love her

Who knows how you do it…

She loves you

but the other person inside me loves him

Its not fair to have these feelings

Sometimes I feel trapped

You make me feel like I know freedom

I bet I could taste freedom on your lips

I never thought this was possible

For a heart to be split two ways

Sometimes I forget you

When he sets my heart ablaze

But you always come back

Haunting me through my memories.

You are my secret love

You are the other half of my heart

Remember when you came to see me before I left?

I never forgot the way you looked at me that night

I’ve been yours in a private way ever since

You’ve probably been mine for longer

But I didn’t know… or was able to ignore it

And now you’ve gotten in my head

I can’t get you out

There you are

Holding me in my dreams

As I am running my fingers through your hair

I wonder what it would be like to touch your scars

And know your weakness

Am I your weakness?

Oh having ever met you, hurts my heart

I wish there was a way to have it all

But I've made my decision long ago.

You would treat me like a goddess… I know

I see the pedestal you’d put me on

I’m really not worthy of it

And you think you're not good enough for me

I would bring you down

My emotions would suffocate you

I bring him down enough as it is

We would be swimming in depression for days, the two of us

I would get mad at you for something trivial

You would drink away the pain

And her, I would be jealous of her

And I know how you feel about jealousy

I felt that stab the moment you mentioned her

And I wouldn’t tear apart your chances

If it came down to that

I would walk away and never look back

But if we failed I wouldn’t be the same ever again

How would I let you go after so much waiting?

So much wanting…

I would be broken, I’d want to die

I would turn into one of your crazy girls

Maybe its you that turns them

You are amazing, caring… alive….

You would have been everything I wanted

But it turns out that he might be perfect for me

Maybe you would be too...

I don't know the answers

There’s no way to find out

But I feel like I need you so much sometimes

I just want to see you

You would probably pull away

I would keep trying to pull you to my heart

You would give in… I know…

The chaos would begin

I just wish there was some other way

You are everything I want…

Everything that can't be mine.

No one else knows me but you

I don't have to be ashamed or embarrassed.

You are the only one I can trust

You make me into the true me.

I remember all the things you’ve told me over the years

and have felt an emptiness creep over me when we lose touch

but you will always be my best friend

I love you so much and I always will…

You will always have at least half my heart
