Your body quivers from nerves
Your voice shakes as you speak
Your eyes close out of passion
Your lips turn into a curved smile
You are speaking
Revealing
Filling with relief
You are emptying your brain of your thoughts unspoken
Thoughts unknown to your peers
Your family
Your friends
You are letting go
Releasing your soul from the leash it's had around it's neck
Releasing your breath for the first time in years
Releasing your ego and watching it sink into the river of doubt
You are my dream
My wish
My ultimate goal
You are what I want to become
What I need to change into
What I wish every night for
You are me
Me in another life
Another situation
Another world
You are me
But you are not
For I am corrupted
Corrupted from years of hurt that was visible to my eyes only
My eyes only
And I went through the hurt alone
It corrupted me
Made me cold
Made me care in secret
Made me mean on the outside
You are me, but you are not
You are me years ago
Before the hurt
Before the loneliness and longing
Before the corruption
You were me
And I want you back
I want you back for myself and myself only
I want to be happy again
I want to stray away from the insults and jests
I want to stray from the evil flashes in the familiar eyes
From the evil flashes in my own eyes
I want you back so I can decide who I am
I want to know if I am you
Myself
Or in between
I need you back so I can change
Alter
Fix
Other me, I want you back
I need you back.
