The pain subsides as the tide begins to rise,
Once again hiding my true self- Can't reveal him to no one else.
Took the chance of letting someone see- Now the pain is killing me.
It hurts so bad to know that Love is making me sad,
The one good thing I felt- Is now the one good thing I had.
Left in the past- With everything we had,
And everything we could have now- I must some how,
Leave the past behind and live in the now- But how?
How do you leave behind the best thing you've ever felt,
The best hand you were ever dealt- How do you settle for something else?
Nothing in this world could ever help- The pain that I now feel,
This can't be real- I can not deal.
With the emotions that now cirlce me- Hurting me,
Reverting me back to my past- To the memories that some how last.
Through all the bad times- They still engulf my mind,
Making me want you- Wishing you were mine.
Sending chills down my spine- Putting my mind in rewind.
All I can think of is you- Being here with me,
Loving me, hugging me- Holding me close,
Reminding me of what I want most- Your touch, your scent,
The feeling has me bent- Intoxicated by you,
And everything you do- This feeling must be true.
This is love- It has to be,
We have to be- With out you there is no me.
When I close my eyes- You're all I see.
My heart skips a beat- Anytime you come near,
My worst fear- Is you not being here.
So as the pain subsides- And the tide begins to rise,
I must hide my true self- Keep him locked inside.
Because it hurts so bad- To know that Love is making me sad.
