My Confession, My Obligation

Tonight I sit here wondering

What it is that goes through your mind?

Why is it that I always remember

You at your best at the very worst time of day?



Tonight I take away the shadows

Tonight I turn on the light

No more mask for me to hide behind

Tonight I will no longer be blind



This one is to a girl who took my heart away

This one is to a girl who made me want to stay

Forever and ever locked tight in her arms

This is for the girl who took away my harms



I look up to you, while I see the sky

I still think of you, each night before I die

I forever hold you tight, to keep you safe and warm

I live in Joelly Bear and trust me- he can do no harm



You sleep peacefully, holding onto me

You cry gracefully, thinking if I were there how it would be

You think occationally, every single second about me

You know logically, that we can never be

Until rationality tells you that you are wrong

Althought hurtfully, you knew it all along

And so very thoughtfully, I continued to take you back

Until distasterly, we broke it down, we burnt it down

Everything fell to the ground



Today we build it back up

Piece by piece, block by block

The way it should have been

Back when we began

Climbing so steadily

I know this will never fall

I still pray for the day

When we will finally reach the sturdy top



This is my confession

Of long buried thoughts from the heart

This is my obligation

To tell you how I feel...when we are apart

This is my reason

For holding on to you each and every day

This is my passion

To see you over and over again, whenever I can



This new foundation will never crumble

I know.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is what I feel...when you aren't around.  Realization of the truth is always a good thing, I just hope that she looks at it just as I do. Friends forever...and more.
