You

Gone are the days I could just pretend,

Looking at you, I can't help but bend.

Tried to ignore what I feel inside,

But every time you're near, I can’t hide.

All of my thoughts keep turning to you,

Days feel lighter when you walk through.

Every smile, every glance you give,

Makes me believe again in why I live.

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen,

The way you light up everything.

But my heart’s been softly calling,

Even when I’m quietly falling…

You don’t even know, but I’m here each day,

Writing songs I wish I had the nerve to say.

If love could speak through silent skies,

Then you’d hear your name in lullabies.

You. oh, how could you not see?

You’ve always meant the world to me.

You don’t have to feel the same, it’s true,

Still, I’m grateful just to know you.

Even if we stay as we are now,

My heart still smiles—and I don’t know how.

Sometimes I wish that you could hear,

The quiet words I write each year.

But for now I’ll keep on dreaming,

Of you and me, hearts softly singing…

You don’t even know, but I’m here each day,

Writing songs I wish I had the nerve to say.

If love could speak through silent skies,

Then you’d hear your name in lullabies.

You. oh, how could you not see?

You’ve always meant the world to me.

So if someday you hear this song,

And wonder if it’s you all along…

Yes—it’s you. It’s always been.

You, my forever dream within.
