I want to tell him
I love you
I need to see him
He's what calms me in the night
He's what anchors me from this turbulence around me
Only he understands me,
And he doesn't understand me
He just looks me in the eyes
And I feel all my hate and anger go away
Leaving me vulnerable to this emptiness inside
Only then do I truly need him
Just to hold him tight until I feel like myself again
But until then I need him bad
He knows it, and stays by my side
He knows how to touch me
The way I like to be held
He makes me so vulnerable, so helpless
He helps me dream at night
All I can dream of is him
He knows it, and keeps me dreaming at night
Only he can teach me happiness and tears
He has a heart when clearly I have none
Still he sleeps by my side, and I watch him close
He has me so vulnerable to this rare feeling
Only at night to I dare face it
Now, when it's dark and the birds sleep
I whisper "I love you"
But he knows, he knows, he sees it in my eyes
He's deep in sleep, I just watch him close
