Letter To The One I Love

* * *

I feel I'm losing you

And there's nothing I can do to stop it

A feeling of hopelessness, of doom

Fills my heart and it hurts

The tears fill my eyes

But that's as far as I let them go

I know it's me

Who's driving you away

Maybe, even, sending you

Into someone else's arms

It hurts, yes, it hurts

But words I say could never

Tell you what I really feel in my heart

So I write down my feelings

I know you don't understand

I don't understand it myself

It makes you angry

That I can't express myself

You want me to talk to you

But the words won't come out

And yet, inside of me

My heart is talking to you endlessly

But, of course, you can't hear it

My heart is screaming at you

For doing things that hurt me

And explaining to you everything

You want me to explain

It tells you romantic little nothings

And of romantic little trips, picnics or

Whatever things I would like to do with you

But whenever I open my mouth

Meaningless words come out

And I'm at the point I started

Feeling lost and that I'm losing you

I love you

I love you so much it hurts, but,

I have no right to hold you back
