I Hide

I hide behind these words
They can say so much
But never "I love you"
The look on your face would be too much to take

I'll watch you from here
The way your face lights up
When you hear the music
The concentration when you play
And the tapping of your foot which drives me crazy
But life would be empty without it

You hear it inside your head like I do
The looks you give when no one sees
Tear me apart
When I could never tell you
And she stands in the way
Of you ever telling me
But only in my dreams
I hide behind my dreams
And my words
I'll never leave them.
