Would You Believe?

Would you believe me if I said I love you

Believe me if I said I that I'd be there

If I said that I can't shake these feelings and they're true

Would you even bother to begin to care?



I wander the streets, my heart twists and turns

My mind always goes back to you

Always threatening to never return

Yet I wonder will I make it through



These dark and fearsome thoughts rule me

Never allowing me to cut the strings and let go

To soar above and beyond, to finally be free

Or sadly learn what I do not want to know



That I do not invade your thoughts at night

Like you do to mine, keeping me awake

Yet it feels so wrong and never right

Like waiting will be a huge mistake



The deepest and darkest valley of my soul

Is scared to pieces you'll walk away

That you will tell me never and no

And my heart will never see the light of day



Yet I know if I never try I can not know

What could've, might've, should've been

Or be brave enough to let go and soar

One day I'll be brave enough I just need to know when
