Lie
by
Sara Rarick
A simple glance, and my heart beating fast.
I read into your small gestures more than I should.
But I can't help it because every time you smile my heart grows warm.
When you say my name I can feel the butterflies awake inside.
Your skin brushes mine and a shiver crawls down my spine.
I lie to everyone every day,
when I tell them I hate you and don't care what you do.
I wish it was true, I wish I could believe it too.
In my own mind I can't hide the truth from myself.
And I have to admit, my mind has wandered off to daydreams of us,
of you by my side, somewhere down the road.
But that's all it is, only a dream, one to never become reality.
So I have to try to keep these thoughts hidden from your view.
Because just what would you think of me if you really knew,
just how much I truly care for you.
