The game has just begun...

You knew each forced smile
And every false spoken "i'm okay"
So why can't you see right through me
And know what I can't say?
Haven't I given enough to you?
When is it my chance to receive?
Let me know your love for me is still true.
Give something to help me believe.
I fight so hard each day
To only get so little.
Having my hopes ground to dust
And leaving my heart brittle.

Phone calls lasting hours
Through the mid of night.
Gave my stomach butterflies
And left my head feeling light.

Sneaking up behind me,
When no one was around to see,
Just to be near and hold me tight.
An incredible feeling guaranteed.

We were in love and spontaneous
But those days are in the past.
I believe we're still in love
But spontaneity didn't last.
You gave up trying. In fact,
You gave up everything.
You blinded yourself so you couldn't see
All that our love could bring.

I promised to fight for you everyday.
And that promise I intend to keep.
Through the day and through the night
While I'm awake and while I'm asleep.
But all of this fighting tires me out
And is slowly making me weak.
Causing me to breakdown at night
And awake to pillows so bleak.

I'm not trying to force you to change.
Do what you want, it's your life.
I am not your girlfriend.
And I'm surely not your wife.
But if you really care for me
The way that you say you do.
Try saying it without words.
Show me that your love is true.
I'm not trying to say you don't love me
And I'm sorry for being so demeaning.
But the simplest actions, which you rarely make,
Can be filled with the most meaning.

We've been through so much together.
A year and some months have gone by.
I can still remember you in the beginning
Just my friends brother; quiet and shy.
You changed so much since then.
And I know I've done the same.
Between us was a spark
Which caused a passionate flame.
Obstacles thrown into the way,
To keep us from each other.
But I couldn't give up, let go,
Or move on to another.
You're much to important
To just give up on.
But time is running out.
And soon I will be gone.
But distance can't bring anything
Between a love like this.
Meeting was fate.
Our love, sealed with a kiss.

So don't give up like that.
And say it's inevitable.
You and I will last forever
With or without a label.
But show me, just show me,
That your love still exists
Without using words
Or taking the easy road, such as a kiss.
Let me know that I have
been running through your mind.
And that I'm not crazy to think that
Our hearts are still intertwined.
See, because even sometimes your words
Can be easily mistaken.
It's like you're telling me to go away
And that your heart is already taken.

You tell me we can't be together
But why, if you're not with her?
Don't you want to be with me?
Can't you see me in your future?
Because when I think about myself
Middle-aged and with kids.
I can't picture you not at my side,
Oh God, heaven forbids!
So now that we're given the chance,
Don't let it get away.
Because if you do you know that
You'll regret it for the rest of your days.
I'm still holding on. Just do what feels right.
The game has just begun.
Don't throw the game, don't forfeit.
Don't let her know she's won.
Take the risk that's worth taking,
For the girl you think is the "one".
But just, if you do anything,
Don't let her think she's won.
