What You Don't Know...

I

Every time I look at you I would wonder,

Why do you always make me ponder?

On simple questions such as love,

When you’re all there is to have

I would reach out my hand,

I would wait for your warmth,

Maybe one day yours would brush against mine,

With your smile so serene,

That’s all I’ll need

But you have me lost in a maze,

My days are filled with your gaze,

With your eyes so deep,

I pray for you to look back at me

I take a breath and turn around,

Is it worth it to be so bound?

I can only be yours if you want me to,

You can only be mine if you want to be

II

Are these eyes of longing?

I cry out – do you hear me?

You make me ask where is it I need to be,

I want to reach out – would you hold me?

Your hands brush against mine,

With your smile so serene,

That’s all I want,

Can you see me now?

You’re always in such a daze,

And I wonder if you think I’m a waste,

I yell at you,

Only silence stares me back,

What is it that I lack?

You take a breath and turn away,

I reach out my hand,

My shell will crack,

Then will you love me back?
