Array ( [sid] => 7072 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => When You See Me Look Away [time] => 2002-11-20 09:00:00 [hometext] => Rejected but still loving... The difficult feelings involved. [bodytext] => Hidden from the world, inside this bitter shell,
Lies the person that I am, enduring your sweet hell.
Longing for each moment, I die ‘cause we’re apart,
And my love for you lies bleeding, dashed within my heart.
Dead I am but forced to watch as life continues on,
The hopes and dreams that I held dear, suddenly are gone.
I’m powerless to change my fate, there’s nothing I can do,
The only thing I’ll ever want is to spend my life with you.

It’s difficult when I’m near you, knowing how I feel,
And the effort that it takes to smile sometimes is unreal.
But because you mean so much to me, these hardships I endure,
Your happiness means more to me than any heartaches cure.
I’d give up all I have for you, no price I wouldn’t pay,
But I sacrifice all that I am, for you it’s best this way.
So when you see me turn my head, I hope you realize,
What I’m trying to hide from you is that a part of me still dies.

Lies the person that I am, enduring your sweet hell.

And my love for you lies bleeding, dashed within my heart.

The hopes and dreams that I held dear, suddenly are gone.

Absolutely beautifully written,
this one made me cry real hard
it's so full of love and passion
and longing for so much more..
The desire in this is so overwhelming
it touched my heart and soul very
deeply, Thank you for sharing this
