"Obstacles are put in your way to see if what you want is really worth fighting for." -  Anonymous



That one song,
that you play over and over and over,
it's stuck in your head,
reminds you of your secret lover.


I play that song over, and over, and over,
as some sort of false hope that it'll bring you closer to me.
You're so far away.


Feeding off every moment I get with you,
soaking it all up,

memorizing the sweet nothings you say,

to keep me sane while you've gone away.

I keep these moments tucked away,

deep inside, so they'll stay close to me.

We fool around,

you raise my hopes,

you let me down.

You keep doing this, you tease me.

It makes me wonder if you're scared to lose me.

I retreat back into my own little world,

keeping all of this secret from you.

I don't want to scare you away.

I don't want to lose you, too.
