To Whom It May Concern

The clouds drift by slowly - in the sky above
An existence incomplete without someone to love
Feeling like I want to shed a couple tears today
Locked inside my head with nothing much to say
Or so much to say - but no one to listen
Not even the water has enough light to glisten
So much emotion for another that I just can't shake
My insecurities leave me without a move to make
And I just don't know - which way I should go
So much buried inside that its starting to show
Feels like I'm at my limit - the pots about to tip
I grab another beer and then begin to sip
To try to forget the thoughts - inside my head
From sparkle of her eyes to everything she's said
It's like I can feel the electrons every time she's there
Moving between us both - all amongst the air
I've never felt anything even close to that
This secret has stomped my heart so completely flat
I know time is wasting, friends will leave soon
Half the problem is a friendship that I don't want to ruin
The other half is me - and the fear I conceal
But these feelings that I feel tell me this has to be real
Plus, there's the worry of rejection - I cannot lie
Even though my feelings for her - I cannot deny
A turn-down from a stranger can always sting a bit
But from a friend it would hurt more than I'd like to admit.
So I sit here alone - hope is all that remains
While my heart is locked up in the grip of these chains.
