ALL I CAN'T SAY
There's so much I can't say
when I look into your eyes.
I'm worried you'll reject me
and hurt my foolish pride.
Each day this love grows stronger,
but I could never let you know.
There's
so much behind my smile
that I could never show.
I'd hold you for a lifetime,
if you would let me in.
I'd
love you like no other,
but you don't understand.
Every time I see you
you are holding her.
The pain is like a knife
cutting deep into my soul.
So I'll dream of us together,
of just how it could be.
And all that you are
will remain a silent part of me.
