With your open smile, and flashing those dimples I've come to adore

You try so hard to please everyone around you, I like it

You make me cry (did you know?), breaking those smiling promises

I should just step back into the shadows, my heart still held in my trembling hands

Swallowing the confession I wanted to give you

I'm so stupid, crushing on you like this, at this time, in this place

In your absence, you grew in my mind, your face, your voice

All the good times, when you made me laugh, and I could relax around you

They are what they are

In the past

It's time I turn around and wake up to reality

Choking me
