When I...

I will...

By kim cruzPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I have a whole world around me that is far from black and white. It is gray.

It’s been like that since you left, what I mean is, when I walked away.

I will look for you, and when I find you I’ll be ok.

When I find you I’ll be begging you to stay.

Because for thousands of reasons you’re not gonna want to cave.

I will make you cringe probably every step of the way.

When I hear your heart, when I see your face,

I just know our hearts will beat together & the world will feel like a new place.

Everything I haven’t said is everything I have to say.

And I wanna keep you forever that’s why I might have you listening to me all day.

These kept in emotions, these feelings I kept at bay,

They’re the things that held back the I-love-you’s; they’re what caused us to break.
