You were more honest than I imagined More honest than me I was scared to lose you forever So I kept it to myself But I was deeply in love with you You said everything I wanted to hear But the fear never left me So I told you I didn't want you near We both knew that was a lie I wanted to give us a chance You were fast And I was too slow to understand That I felt the same way Maybe even more Part of me still thinks you were the one The timing was wrong, I guess You said "Maybe in another life Another time, my dear" All I wanted to say was Don't leave Just hold me Hold me a little closer Stay a little longer Like nothing else matters Like I never said those words Like I said yes Like my eyes could speak Like my soul already told you Everything I was too afraid to say Hold me like this Just a little longer Hold me like this Instead, I said nothing Silence was loud You gave me a little hug And you left You said goodbye I smiled and said, "Take care." What I meant was Take care of my heart Because it left with you I stood there Waiting for you to turn around That's what I wanted But you kept walking That was the end for you For me It was where the longing began Don't leave Just hold me Hold me a little closer Stay a little longer Like nothing else matters Like I never said those words Like I said yes Like my eyes could speak Like my soul already told you Everything I was too afraid to say Hold me like this Just a little longer Hold me like this And some nights I close my eyes And pretend You're still here Holding me like this Part of me still thinks You were the one 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐸𝓃𝒹
