Where the truth Lies..
There she was,
In a sea of silence,
No smile,
No glance in my direction,
To her I didn't exist,
She was wrapped in her security blanket,
Covered and closed off for her own protection,
I knew I had to have her,
That day I asked her out,
Without a warning shot,
I was shot down,
So I asked over and over,
Again and again,
Her answer was always the same,
No matter how many times I asked it didn't seem to matter,
One day she gave me a chance,
I took it,
I opened my hand and she placed hers in mine..
Time flew by,
Everything seemed so perfect,
I'd asked her how her day went,
She'd look at me and smile,
Her lips would part gently from her smile,
She'd tell me it was fine,
We'd talk for hours and hours at a time,
When we went out in public she'd reach for my hand,
Warm and full of love,
When I looked in her eyes,she looked back in mine,
For once in my life it wasn't hard to understand..
Months went by,
Everything seemed to be going just fine,I'd ask her how her day went, she looked at me with a faded smile,her lips parted from her tired smile,
With a voice like she was somewhere else she replied,
It was okay,
We'd talk for a few hours but she'd get quiet like there was something she just wouldn't say,
When we went out in public she'd let go of my hand,when I looked her in the eyes,she'd look away and avoid mine,i tried to understand..
A year went by,
Everything seemed to be coming to a halt, I'd ask her about her day,
She looked at me with a straight face,no lines or curves where her lips used to be,just an empty space,she'd just say it's not important and that we didn't need to talk about it,we would talk for a few minutes at a time,when we went out in public he hands faded away in her pockets,she'd walk a few inches next to me but she seemed miles away,when I looked her in the eyes, she'd just look down and then turned her attention to something else..
A year and some months went by,everything seemed lost, I'd ask her about her day and she'd stare off into space,no answer or reply,just a blank stare with someone who wishes she was there, we'd talk for moments at a time,finally she told me there was someone else and that I was wasting my time,when I told her that I loved her, She said that I was just a mistake,it wasn't meant to happen,when I reached for her hand,she pulled away,she told me not to come by or call her,just that I needed to stay away,she told me she was happy and that I'd only get in the way,I still leave my phone on... Waiting for you to tell me you still love me..
