Have You Ever
by jess

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words, but they don't come out right?
Have you ever, have you ever...

I’d always heard that when you fall in love you wouldn’t want to cry. But honestly, that’s not true. I think I cry more now than ever before.

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything up to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart?
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

From the moment I met him I knew he was the one who would reach inside my soul and hold me tighter than anyone ever had or ever would. I knew I would be able to give him my heart and not worry about watching him laughingly throw it to the side when someone better came along. But from the moment I met him I was terrified as well. I’d never felt so close to someone so fast. How could I tell this beautiful man who stood before me that my heart was his? That everything I’d ever loved in the world paled in comparison to his heart. How could I put all those fears and loves and feelings into words…to make him understand.

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words, but they don't come out right?
Have you ever, have you ever...

It’s incredible how little I sleep anymore. I’m afraid to sleep anymore because every moment I’m asleep is one moment less I have with him. Yes, my dreams are filled with images of him. But my reality is filled with so much more of him. His voice, his laughter, his hugs, his smiles…all the things that make me wish sleep never had to happen.

Have you ever found the one
You’ve dreamed of all your life
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care

I want him to know what he means to me. How much I love him, how empty my heart is without him. How to make him understand how empty my life is without him. I want to scream from the rooftops I LOVE YOU! But I can’t…he’s not mine. He’s hers. So I have to keep dreaming of the perfection that I see in front of me every day.

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words, but they don't come out right?
Have you ever, have you ever...

I’ve found myself standing in front of him so many times, the words on the tip of my tongue. How simple it would be to say I love you, but they always end up saying something like how was your day, or nice shirt where’d you get it. And then I watch his mouth…that perfect mouth, curve into a smile and a laugh. Feel his hand on my shoulder as he pats it…like a friend.

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
Cuz baby I can't sleep

How do I tell him? How do I tell her? How do you tell your best friend that you’ve fallen in love with her boyfriend? That you dream of him every nite. But even more…how do you get past the thoughts of wanting her out of his life so you have the chance to feel yourself in his arms? I lie in my room and plot ways to break them up. Plan ways to think of the perfect time to tell him how I feel. How do I make him see that he would be happier with me? That my heart, my body…that every part of me…would make him feel more loved than he ever dreamed possible.

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words, but they don't come out right?
Have you ever, have you ever...

I’d always heard that when you fall in love you wouldn’t want to cry. But honestly, that’s not true. I think I cry more now than ever before.

Have you ever, have you ever...
