Not easily spoken

I love her for that smile
The one that lights up the room
I love her for those eyes
The very ones that pierce my soul
Her touch, so electric
How could i ever resist

Her mind, like a straight shooter
Always alert
Her soul, so precious
Her core, the moments i hold out for

The reason i love her
Her heart is pure
Been shattered many times
But strong enough to prosper

She had me way back then
And ive never given up
But she who i kept close
Was my poison,
my diamond in the rough

I could not give her what she deserved
She's a teacher and a poet
I look up to who she is and what she does
A hero, does she even know it?

Does she see what i see?
Does she know what i know?
She does not live how i live
But i thought maybe we could grow

I know that i love her
And i know she loves me
But i just wished she loved me
A little more to agree
To learn who i am
To get to know my side
So i guess i just tried
To be who she wanted me to be

She will never know exactly
How much i wanted to love her
To just hold her tight
To show her how beautiful she is
Does she even know?
I wanted to share things with her
Make her feel good
Let her know that i'll be here
I wanted her to let me in....

She will never know
The reasons why
I keep silent for so long
The reasons why
I dont like joints but bongs
The reasons why
I like the earth between my toes
And the reasons why
She has been my muse
My muse...

All the things ive never said
I guess its never really the right time
I have and always be

Your secret
Your lover
Your babe
Your learning curve
Your second best
Your try and repeat
Your drug...

The reasons why
Are not easy to speak
So hear these words
Because they come from the deep
I'm long past confused
I think I've figured this out
I was just the puppet
The poet couldn't live without
