I would tell you how I feel
But would you care?
I would tell you what I'm thinking
But would you listen?
I would tell you how my mind works
But would you judge me?
I would tell you where I go
But would you search for me?
I would tell you about my song
But would you nitpick my melody?
I would tell you if you're on my mind
But would you do the same?
I would tell you about my journey
But would you assume the worst?
I would tell you how you cause me to think
But would you embarrass me if you had the chance?
I would tell you how my nights go
But would you share it with random strangers?
I would tell you I want you to call
But would you just ignore that I did?
I would tell you about the times I've cried alone
But would you make fun of the pain I felt?
I would tell you how beautiful I think you are
But would you simply laugh it off?
I would tell you why I said I find you beautiful
But would you assume only women can be beautiful?
I would tell you how my mind is full of thought
But would you say I'm too boring?
I would tell you how much I wish you were here
But would you even show up?
I would tell you what truly moves me
But would you then push and pull?
I would tell you about my favourite things
But would you then pick on my taste and selection?
I would tell you how I feel about nature
But would you then attempt to force me to sit inside a barren room?
I would tell you how often you are in my dreams
But would you then treat me as a hopeless romantic?
I would tell you how good I think your outfit looks on you
But would you then think I'm superficial?
I would tell you how much I love you
But would you then mock me if you had the chance?
I would tell you if I have fallen in love with you
But would it really matter to you in your heart?
I would tell you how much I deeply value you
But would you then disrespect me?
I would tell you how much I appreciate you
But would you then cherish me, or behave like I owe you something?
I would tell you how much I respect you
But would you then violate my trust?
I would tell you a lot
But we both know, you prefer I stay silent and without a voice.
I would tell you because I care.
But we both know I may be the only one who understands that.
So lastly, if you read this and knew it was written for you, would you respond?
