& When I'm With You

& when I'm with you

I try and hold my composure

because I'm too scared to break down in front of you

I'm afraid that the moment I do

I will tell you everything I've wanted to tell you

since the day I looked in your eyes

and realized you were what and who I needed

 

but until I'm ready I will laugh and smile in your presence

but cry the moment you turn your back

because the thought of losing you over the truth

is more painful then the lie I try and pass off to you everyday.

So true. It is so difficult to be yourself with the one you love, for their judgement means more than any other in the world.
