Silently loving you
I'm used to playing pretend
Hiding pain and holding back tears
This isn't any different
Yet I can't let myself lose you
Even though it burns
I hold on to the flame
While hiding it from the world
Hoping in a miracle
A distant future
With you by my side
Dreaming of dancing in black and white
Echoes of a life I don't know if I get to live
I'm already in mourning for the possibility
Of losing you
I write a word for every tear
I shed a tear for every moment away from you
What have you done to me, my love
I fall asleep thinking of you
And my thoughts turn into dreams
I finally have the hope of seeing you
Pictures don't do you justice
And after so much time
I'm forgetting your voice
And the way you move
Every part of you that I love
Is slowly slipping away
In my dreams you return
And I can see you again
But every time we are about to touch
On the brink of seeing sparks
I wake up and remember
That you are far away and not allowed
And I live with the fog of a memory
Of your hand touching mine
And of your breath on my lips
