There are moments when I'm with you that I just need a second to pause
to look away
and laugh

You always wonder why

I giggle and nod my head as if it's nothing
But the truth is
I'm trying to escape this reality

These words linger in my thoughts
They are graffiti in my mind, spray-painted along the burgundy brick walls

My mouth acts as a grandiose gate to keep these words sealed tight inside
These words harbor along with other unspoken thoughts and feelings

They are scary
Yet so beautiful
They require courage and strength
Yet they make me so vulnerable and susceptible to pain

They will decide my ultimate fate

I love you...

Now it's time to just wait
