Say You Love Me

I must have sounded so silly then

Opening up about my hopes and dreams

All of the things I wanted to experience with you

My feelings for you were so intense and real

Forgetting you feels like I’m losing me

Or like having surgery for a lobectomy

I no longer breathe the same because it hurts

I don’t laugh or talk the same

I don’t speak because it hurts

I hide my tears behind silence and a blank face

Because even when I smile it hurts.
