Old Feelings

So here I am 

And there you are.

Crammed in close but still so far.

Do you remember those words

The words I said to you 

Those awkward words that 

I keep locked in my heart

I do not know what I thought 

It may have been a dream

Those old memories of seeing you

 And you seeing me.

But that's all it was

Just a glance

A curiostiy.

How then could I have such thoughts and feelings?

What happened to me?

How could something become of nothing?

WHY WHY WHY

I'm not sure how and I don't know why

Was it something that you did?

Had you any part in pulling off my heart's lid?

Now you see me and I see you 

We see eachother still

But things are different now 

You know the truth

And you always will  

I revealed to you what I felt

At last and finally

I thought I might recover from the pain

But my heart has lied to me

My time spent since the truth was shared has been 

A lie of freedom.

Because once I saw you agian I realized 

That you have never left my mind.

But nothing has changed since the beginning

Because we are both afraid

I'll never agian share the truth, that price has already been paid

So I say before we part good luck with your life

Because only when you leave my prescence 

Can I be free and find another.
