The Hardest Thing

I feel your lips whisper on my cheek...
And the tears start to fall.
I run my fingers through your hair..
Realizing that's the only way I can communicate my love..
Your eyes show me a different side of you that I desperately need to see..
We both care so much, yet are so broken..
I try to hold back and leave my true feelings unspoken.
Holding back is the hardest thing I've ever had to do..
But if that's what I need to do..I promise I'll help fix you.
Even if that means breaking down in the process.
I see your face..and I can't stop smiling..
But then I remember everything..and I hold back the tears.
Tears of frustration, tears of heartbreak, tears of fear.
In hopes that you'll eventually comfort me.
Wrap me up in your arms..and let's let it all go.
Nothing else matters..just you, and me..in one long moment of love and solitude.
Let your tears rain down on my shoulders, and I'll dry them with the pieces of my heart that are left.
Time will stand still for us...as it always does.
Everything happened so quickly..overwhelming our hearts and confusing our minds.
But we'll make it through.
We'll stay strong.
Holding back the floodgates is the hardest thing I'll have to do...
But for you, I will.
