here;
stealing smiles.

just close your eyes

8:21 pm maybes;

maybe i just want to
pull you away and
have you all to myself
just for a little while,
even a split second smile.

maybe sometimes i
wish i dared to take
your hand and whisper
no watter what, i'll be
here to the end.

then maybe ill tell you my hurts
& i'll let you in on my secret.
perhaps smile the smile that's
been driving people nuts.
or just rest against you
and hear the beating of your heart.

maybe i'll believe i could
lean in and stay longer
close my eyes and listen;
forget the world for seconds
tell lies and get into trouble

maybe sometimes i
wished you stayed a little
closer; then i'll switch on
the room's light, just to
tell you im near

then maybe ill tell you all my hurts
& i'll let you in on my secret.
just let you hug me and hold me
and breathing in your comfort.
the world's storm cant rage now,
you're close & i've your words.

if i lived through a day
without all the maybes;
then i could

tell you all my secrets
hold your hand in secret
all with that secret smile

but maybe
thats just all my secret
and you're all i needed,
maybe i'll just stay awhile.
