With unwritten words that speak only the deepest truths of my soul,
I speak them now forever to those who know what I mean
At one point I forgot what love was,
But today when I looked in your eyes and remembered I hated myself
How could I forget love, was I afraid to lose it?
Forgetting the feeling I tried to save myself the pain
Worried that my heart would get taken,
but then an empty space was created
A break yes, but is my love so little you'd toss it away?
Tell me what is wrong with me and I'll fix it
Tell me why you can't love me back anymore and I'll find a way
Tell me you love me and I won't try to take back everything
I grew sick with a stomach ache, a headache and unhappiness
I found myself wanting to go home and be with my family
I felt the pain of someone forgotten in a forest
Lost without a map or a compass, calling out your name
Clear headed I sit her before my only savior, typing my heart out
The feeling of cold tears, a tight throat and heart beating away
The music I hear tells me over and over to be patient
And I do, I try, I push and I fight
Will you tell me no, will I have to end this love forever
I told you I would not spend my last year in a pile of drama
I said that I would break all of the problems before this new year
Please don't make me follow through with this promise
Because I missed you so, and came that night just to feel close
I came to feel the energy I feel when I am close to you
I wanted to call out your name, but something held back
I wanted to run to you and tell you that I hated the seperation
Here I was, lonely at eleven at night, standing below your window
Wishing somehow you'd come out and see me there
Just like those scenes in a romance novel
I'd hold out my hand and wisk you out of the window
Be the prince and you the princess as I held you close and whispered
sweet nothings in your ear about love, passion and compassion
But there I stood, in the silent night staring up at the night
wondering if I'd ever get the chance again and again to prove myself
Proving myself to you over and over with my dedication
With my strength to keep on going no matter what
To stand with you no matter what stood against us
No matter what tried to tear us apart.
To you my love
I write these unwritten words that have played over and over
in my head since the last I saw of you
To the point where I felt the distance between us
To you my love I will continue to write forever,
unwritten and written
