You looked at me when no one would
You smiled at me when no one could
Life went by, yet we stood still
Holding me with your gaze your will
I want to know everything you think
The feelings behind every smile and wink
I long to hear your resounding laugh and playful touch as you smile back
I need to feel your hand in mine holding me close not just to pass the time,
But because you can and want to know why you find you can’t let go
Now you smile at me every time we pass
I stop and wave, walk away and laugh
A smile plays across your lips,
As if you long to know what it’d be like to kiss
I wait for you, just to you pass
And every time I think
Maybe one day with you I can speak


Color me a mushroom
Play me to the sky
Tie me with your chains
Do not pass me by
Draw me broken glass
Look into my eyes
You are all I want to be


To me your all there is
Am I nothing but a friend?
And yet there’s nothing but the waves
Hard and crashing against my skin
Water on my body
Looking out upon the ocean
Am I sinking deeper?
Is the tide pulling me in?
If I go under will I ever breathe again?
Can I let go?
Will I surface any more?
Is my life in danger?
Is this risk one I should take?
I feel you pulling me further with your eyes
I’m slowly going under, yet struggling in thought
What if I let go?
What if I don’t come back?
I look into your eyes, upon the ocean of your heart
I breathe in deep
I feel my head slip under, the water caress my skin
With that one last look you took me in


You made me believe
You made me see
You made me want to be all I can be
You told me you loved me, and I could have anyone in the world
You gave me a smile and a wink and walked down the hall
My arms were still warm from where you held me close
My body still blushing from my hand in yours
My cheeks are still tear stained
I had finally stopped my crying
But hearing your words, my eyes began to water
I cried because I felt alone
I cried because he left
But now I cry because I want only you to hold
It hurts me to see you walking away
Going up to her,
And having saved a laugh and a kiss you give them both away
I long to be the only one you see
Because you truly are the only one for me
I know you as a best friend, I want to know you as more
To be the only one you care for, the only one that you adore
You share with me your feelings
I’ve seen you love, I’ve seen you cry
And now you left with this feeling of wanting to die
Because in all the time I’ve known you and all that we’ve gone through
I cared for you so much
And in many ways I’ve told you
But through all the tears and late night laughs
I only wish you could love me the way that I love you
