Staying Quiet

I see you,

but somehow my mouth stays closed,

my eyes stay fixed,

my legs wont move.

My body becomes paralyzed,

my life is turned right again.

The challenge is to say how I feel,

no one understands the battle I fight,

maybe one day I will do what I need to,

walk up proud and tell you how I feel.

But now my lips are sealed,

and I'm begging you to hold on.

Don't find anyone new yet,

please notice me.

I'm the one fighting the eternal battle.

The one who loves you more then the rest.

The quiet one who can't even say a word.

And even in this age of life,

I cannot type it either,

or say it on the phone.

My heart tells me the words to say,

the rest of my body does nothing,

no repsonse at all.

I promise you the world,

I promise that I will come to,

most of all I know tha I can be your love,

just give me time,

let me win this battle.

All I ask,

although I can't tell you it,

is that your heart tells you to hold off,

wait,

and don't ever give up on true love,

me.
