Pain

In tristique bibendum

I'm scared to look at you
I'm afraid you'll catch my gaze
I'm scared to look away
I'm afraid I'll forget your face

How can seeing someone
Feel warmer than sunlight
How can seeing someone
Make me cry at night

The thought of you
Wraps my mind like a chain
How can ones beauty
Cause another such pain

If I had the courage to speak
Would you even hear
The way my heart cry's
Would you even care
