no one else will know

Soon you’ll meet brighter eyes and softer hands, However none of them will ever understand, The reason you flinch when silence arises, Or why you stare through window lost in a haze. They’ll love your laugh, but not the ache, They’ll hold your hand, but never feel it shake. They’ll never ask what haunts your dreams and yes they’ll kiss you light and goodnight, but not that deep or passionate that you'd like. I know I haven't seen it all but even if I did I know I would never run. I stayed when I knew the staying had become undone. So smile, go live, pretend you’re free knowing a love like mine? You won’t ever be able to unsee. someday in the silence, in your chest you’ll finally feel the truth above the rest: That even if the world forgets, I’m the one your soul will always regret leaving and letting go.
