Things We Don't Say

Love sometimes has our hearts tied up in knots.

You unravel and unravel and just when you think its perfect.

It gets a kink in it again, and we diligently untangle the problems that arise.

But as long as the string from my heart always leads me back to you.

Then i know everything will be okay.

Sometimes i fail to say just what you mean to me.

I hold your heart close to mine.

Woven together tell the end of time.

Always i think of you and it brings a smile to my face.

A memory of a laugh we shared.

Or simply just the words from you saying you care about me too.

Sometimes we will argue and then we both pull away and stay quiet.

I hate those fights.

But I'm still thinking of you, wanting to pick up the phone and just text, hey.

Instead i stay quiet not able to say what i really want to.

Check on you, ask about your day.

I often wonder if your thinking of me too.

A song or a rhyme and you will instantly be on my mind.

It feels like it's simply the way it should be when there's moments with just me and you.

Then i seem to always pull back just a little.

Waiting for you to say "don't do that, or even whisper, come back."

Look at me and say, "please stay."

For now I'll just stay holding tightly to my end of the string.

Waiting for you to follow it back to me.

Maybe see that you missed me as much as i did you.

Or even just say i care about you too

Sometimes we don't see what's supposed to be.

we walk away from the only person that really wants us to stay.
