Behind These Eyes

Once I could see,
But now I am lost.
These ears hear no more than your thoughts,
And this mind thinks no more of the cost.

If you look thoroughly,
Then you can see.
These eyes cry not for you,
But for you to remember me.

Because I feel selfish,
I can’t let you see these tears.
I know that you will come back,
So that you can stop my fears.

Knowing that you’ll come back,
I won’t want to find a way out.
I know when you find me,
I won’t want to yell and shout.

To feel your love once again,
I know that you’ll hold me until the end.
The day you say,
“Forever we will be more than friends.”

I will wear my white dress,
You will wear your slacks.
This time there will be tears,
I don’t ever have to hold back.
