Don't look at me
Like you don't know,
Why I'm looking at you like this.

Loving you
Is like drowning
Reaching for the brim
Waiting for you to help me
Instead of learning how to swim

The times you hear the words
I love you its the typical cliche
they slip out
sometimes casually
think carefully about the
real meaning behind
the words next time you use them
love is shown by actions
doing things for the ones
you care about and not only spoken.

scared to fall,
but more scared
of never flying,
so i sit at the edge
and wait.

I thought your eyes I could dismiss,
And your smile I wouldn't miss,
But I still feel your lips
Giving me a permanent marker kiss

What am i supposed to do?
Tell you i’m in love with you,
while you’re telling me you love another.

"I'm happy for you."
A compliment hiding my pain.

"I'm happy for you."
I said to you,
as tears run down my face
hearing myself said,

"I'm happy for you."
