What you mean to me

In soft whispers I long to call your name
Softly wanting your heart to tame
Telling myself it isn't true
That I don't think that way of you
I turn my thoughts away
To the things of the day
Then my mind wanders back to your soft eyes
My heart begins to beat it's gentle cries
I tell myself that things are already done
That there is nothing else to say, nowhere to run
I've tried to hide it deep within
Only passing glimpses seep again
The link that pulls between us now
I try to avoid it, somehow
Whenever we speak or touch
I feel it overwhelming, too much
I refuse to run or cower
I won't hide away again in my tower
Yet, your heart you've locked away from me
Nothing I've done has brought forth the key
So while I hope and I try to dream
I know that nothing is what it would seem
The doors seem to open and then to close
Sometimes I wish that it was my heart that froze
This little game of chess we play
Holding back the things we want to say
How much longer must we wait
Before we truly try to open that gate?
I say we've held back too long
Pretending that we're all wrong
Links like this are rather rare
They're for those who really care
So speak your mind before it's too late
So together we can really unlock this gate
