Unknown Direction

Could the past ever be the future
Would it work today
Would we start all over
or go back to yesterday

So many good memories
along with some tear shed
Would we be able to overcome
All of the things we left unsaid

Finally another chance
Appears before me now
But I don't know how he feels
And he won't let it out

I base all of my actions
On the messages he sends me
But they are so mixed up
They just leave me in a frenzy

Do I call, do I write
To see what he will say
Do I run right up to him
Or should I walk away

I have expressed my feelings
But I don't think he feels the same
But yet he is still here
Listening to me admit my shame

This is so frustrating
I do not want to guess
I really need to know
If he still loves me best

I need some happiness
My heart has been abused
One day I am in heaven
But then he leaves me confused

Why do some men struggle
With intimate conversation
They keep it bottled up inside
And expect us to be patient

I have walked away from some
Who struggled with expression
I need to know just where I stand
So I take the right direction

Please don't make me chase you
Like a teenage girl
Either tell me to go away
Or invite me into your world

Maybe I have come on strong
But you have to understand
For such a long time
My life has been so bland

Someone tell me what to do
I need some affection
Am I on to something great
Or setting myself up for rejection

Either way I am tough
I do not fall that hard
Those days are over
There are too many scars

It will take a lot
To bring out the love within
I want back what I give
And I won't live without love again
