Here I Am

I've seen you from afar,
I've seen you from upclose,
But always I am hiding.

Now here's my opportunity,
My one chance to step out,
The day that I can finally say:

Here I am.
Am I invisible?
I'm shouting in your face.

I'm screaming and waving,
And letting out my feelings..

I tell you I've loved you all along,
That I want to hold you and love you,
And keep you for my own.

You don't notice me,
Apparently I'm not there,
And it's all over but the tears.

There is a distant buzzing,
Jerking me from your face,
Bringing me back to reality.

I wake up in my bed,
Alone and unloved,
Without you by my side.

No matter how badly I want to say those words,
Here I am, here I am,
I will always be invisible.

But here I am.
