Locked Feelings

by Lance James Green - Cancer

I never thought it would happen to me.
I promised myself I would never love again.
But you got me wanting you so badly.
This is the craziest I've ever been.

I keep all my feelings for you deep inside.
Maybe it's because I'm afraid of what you'll say,
Or maybe it's just my damn pride.
But I hope I'll get it all out one day.

I don't know exactly how or when it happened,
But I just wanted to talk to you more and more.
And then I knew I'd wait for you til the end,
Even if death came early, I'd wait at heaven's door.

Girl, you know you got me going crazy for you.
I'd give anything just to touch your hair.
I wish the world would disappear so it could be just us two.
A life without you, I could not bare.

I wouldn't dare tell you all this though.
You'd say I'm not thinking straight, or that I've gone mad.
You'd become speechless and scared, I know.
And this would be just a crazy love gone bad.

I look up at the stars late at night
And wonder what you're doing or where you're going.
I wish I could be holding you tight,
Because my need for you is only growing.

If you were mine, you'd be my goddess, my queen, my everything.
I'd gaze into your eyes, remember your every word, and watch you sleep.
And I swear on my life it wouldn't be just a one night fling.
Because my feelings for you are just too deep.

And when the day came that you married some lucky guy,
I'd fake a smile for you while my heart tore apart.
I'd be dying inside and wanting to cry.
Even though I knew you weren't mine from the start.

But all these words will stay locked behind closed doors,
Because the stronger part of me still won't let love win.
So I'll just go my way, and you go yours,
And maybe the next life I'll see you in.

Reason for writing:

    Just a guy in love with a girl
