Silent

Piece by piece,
my lonely heart
begins to break,
to fall apart.
And still he keeps me
in the dark.
So I will just stay silent.

I cannot say
if he feels the same
and i cannot ask.
I am too afraid.
Instead i hide.
I can only wait.
So still I just stay silent.

The days go by,
and he draws near,
but still I turn
away in fear.
I want to make
my feelings clear,
but I know I must stay silent.

It goes like this
for quite a time.
I know not if
he'll cross the line
between being friends
and being mine.
So for now I will stay silent

Then the time comes,
finally,
when he takes my hand
and says to me,
"I've said nothing,
but now, you see,
I cannot stay silent."

The boy i like,
who i know best,
asks me to be his
and as you can guess,
my heart takes flight
as I say yes
because I no longer need to be silent.
