I want to sit in front of you and open myself up like an over read book. I want to be able to be honest with you and tell you everything that's been steeping in my head, and in my heart for too long. But I can’t. I’m too afraid to get hurt, to discover the truth. So instead, I'll sit down and spell out the words and feelings I'm too afraid to look you in the eyes and say.
I am trying to push aside all these feelings, I am trying to trick myself into thinking I am chasing after something that aren't worth the hunt. I keep telling myself it would be foolish of me to don't let things go but it's meaningless. I try to ignore all the little things that made me fall for you in the first place, but in doing so I only grew fonder of you. I keep on feeding nutrients to the starving feelings of desire.
I had mixed emotions at first, I didn't want to encroach on your choise of go away. It wouldn't be fair. But the most important thing was that you needed a girl to turn to, to rely on, even then. I am happy to be her. I wanted to be the ears to your illogical words, the cushion for your irrational thoughts, the reassurance to your questionable doubts. I became all of the above and more. We became each other's confidant, each other's go-to, each other's emergency call no mater the time of day. In to time we had become each other's best friends.
But somehow, even with all this, I want more. I want you but more than I already have of you. I want what we have to be something so much greater than what it already is. I want to be the girl that made you look back, that girl that made your heart skip an extra beat, that girl that you held a gaze with for a few seconds longer, that girl you would talk about long after she was gone. I want to be the girl you are proud of to be with but somehow I couldn't find a way to be that. My face are the brave mask so easily, while in fact my heart are painted with the true emotions of my yearning.
And that is where I still find myself, at a loss. I no longer know what to do, or how to go on. I am afraid to tell you with the risk of losing you, and I am too afraid to let these feelings linger on. Regardless of the decision, I have a sense I will only hurt myself. I don't know how much longer I can be with you without being with you. I don't know how much longer I can bear to look you in the screan of my phone without reaching out to your lips. I don't know how much longer I can go on hiding these true feelings from you. I don't know how much longer I can go on crying true tears to an unknown audience. I don't know how much longer I can keep on hurting when you have no idea of the pain I am suffering.
