Empty Space Between Us (Read Between the Lines)

I'm sorry for the distance that's come between us,
The aching of my heart,
Sought to sever our ties,
Because the pain of missing you,
Made me miserable,
But the pain of being absent from your life,
Has made me lose my mind,
Am I out of time?
Is there anything left of us?
After all these years,
My love still burns strong,
Sometimes I think it's on par with the radiance of the sun,
But you never knew,
Our lives are so different from then,Yet we act the same towards each other,
When we're together,
No matter the time that has passed,
It's as if nothing has ever changed.

I could never tell you to your face,
The words in which I want to say,
Because you've told me how you felt long ago,
And I know I'm alone in this hope,
so I feel like something is wrong with me,
I can't live my life in peace,
You may be absent from my sight,
But my dreams bring you to life,
Have I gone mad?
I don't understand why I'm still sad,
But my heart won't let me let you go,
No matter what I try to do,
My heart in the end,
Only wants you.

They say with time comes healing,
But nothing I do or say, Takes this pain away,
I feel Like I'm broken,
That I'm devoid of feeling,
A numbness has settled over me,
For I want your happiness,
And from what I've seen,
I am not the key,
I am not the door to your future,
I was but a lock,
To open your eyes so you could find your way,
To instill confidence in yourself,
I want the world for you,
So much so that I hide my true beliefs,
Because I don't want to start controversy,
Still I don't want to lose you completely,
But this battle I fight,
is under the guise of a smile and encouraging eyes,
But if you stared deep enough,
You could see the tears dripping from my soul.

Here's to your future,
I wish you the best,
I don't know if our paths will cross again,
But understand this,
In my heart you will always find solace,
For you will always have a place,
I have one last confession:

I'm still in love with you.
