The Girl that has to fill the Silence

Watching from across the room,
I wished that I could stand close to you,
Your eyes piercing through my soul,
Your heart shielded by a weight.

How long must I have to feel this way?
When will I forget you exist?
When all I can remember is your laugh,
It’s enough to bring you back.

Feeling like my feet are dragging,
Not really sure as to why that is.
You make me feel this way.
You make me forget everything else.

I can’t breathe.
I find myself gasping for air.
This room is crowded, but I only see you.
My mind is cluttered with memories.

How can I move on?
What am I supposed to do?
I haven’t seen you for so long.
Does it even matter anymore?

I have seen you cry, even just a little.
I have heard you laugh.
Your heart on your sleeve,
Your mind on hope and despair.

I miss you with each passing day,
Even though it feels just like yesterday.
How could I let you slip by-
Without telling you the truth.

I am in love with you.
I always have been.
Yes, I love you.
Even now, every day, every time I remember you.
