Your Words

For so long I've been loving you from a distance
Because I was afraid of your silence
Because your silence speaks to me more deeply
than any words could ever say
Because I was afraid of who I would be when I was alone with you
Because I didn't wanna be rejected

For so long I've been loving from a distance
Holding myself hostage to the sound of you
Running away from the thought of you loving me so deeply
That I would lose myself and never be able to find who I used to be

For so long I've been trying to love you from a distance
But I can't even survive without you
You are not only the air I breathe
You are the lungs I breathe with
And without you there is this vacant void that causes me to collapse are the center of who I am
And that's what I mean when I say "You're breathtaking."
You care for me with a gentleness that made me want to love you more than I ever thought possible
And I want to give all of my heart to you even thought I have no idea what it feels like

You love me privately
Publicly
Lonely
Lovely
or ugly
And I want to give you the keys to every room in this house I call my heart
And that means nothing is off-limits to you.
