I see you across the room.
Those who can't see me swoon. I miss your eyes upon my face.
I want so much for you to be free.
My conscience eats at me
I know that I am being foolish
To hold out when others call
Dismissing those who could freely love
To ease this pain and loneliness once and for all
They say they want to take care of me and be with me for always
But their pretty speeches are replaced by your laughter to my ears
Their eyes all turn your shade of brown
Their kisses make me miss you all the more
If you crossed the line in the sand I couldn't take you
But I need to hear your voice for the pit to disappear
I talk to you when you are not here
I write to you in letters I can never send
Your heart is not free for me, but that is not what I want
I need you to hear, for this is scarce
You made someone happy
To give myself peace I give you up
But this last letter- of which you will never see
Is my gift to you
