Simple words.

Simply enough, these are my words.

> Keep it short.

The good in me, I hope you see

I hope you’ll be able to see the good in me without me having to try too hard,

there’s so much there that I’m nervous to show you but some i’d rather not.

And I hope you’ll see the light in me before it burns out.

With my every thought on you I try to gather courage,

but I need help and I admit it, your love would surely do it.

It’s not easy being this naked for it happens very rarely,

that voice you hear is my breath begging you to come near me.

It’s not easy baring my soul and showing your heart my own,

but something tells me it feels better if I would simply let you know.

Nothing has come close to the pounding of my speeding heart

when I see a glimpse of you, I try my hardest to stay calm.

Yes, I’m trying my hardest, trembling in fact

but you better see it now, for very soon and before you know it

I might end up leaving, I just might be gone.

I can’t promise you everything but I can try to give you as much,

all I need you to do is save me before I try to run.

If by chance you miss me, don’t sit and hope I come back,

coming running, you’ll have to try your hardest

and don’t tell but I’ll let you catch up.

I really don’t have much to say to you but my eyes are screaming words and my hands are whispering stories of things they could tell you, show you. I’m quiet but you make me want to be so loud. Next time open your ears to my silence and touch me if you can understand the hesitation in my breath.

You find your way into everything I write.

I didn’t need you to say anything. But I still wanted to hear it all.

I don’t want you to be temporary. Please, please, please don’t leave me like everyone else.

I’m torn between thinking and feeling. I hate when this happens. They can never go hand in hand. Instead, I am stuck with this headache and heartache I can do nothing about.

Let me and I’ll be the greatest story of your life.

i think i’m more scared of what happened than of what didn’t. because i find myself without you today therefore what did happen wasn’t good enough. and it’s hard to live knowing we were never good enough. 

we didn’t work out and it’s because i forgot to speak and you forgot to remind me. i forgot to show i loved you and you forgot to say it. and every day all i do is remember but what good does that do us now.

i will fall in love with you. don’t tempt me.
