keep it close to your heart give me a half glance when you pass don't dare whisper grin as my pulse thuds twice as fast don't set yourself apart. twitch my fingers in a wave keep it all in your chest oh your smile; I won't be the same. but spend every waking moment wondering what you think of watching with bated breath. wondering if I grace your daydreams. keep it all in your mind let loose that hope, smile and wave a promise, treading your tightrope. don't talk; be kind... soft mockery and fluttering sighs. keep it all close to me a thousand quiet hopes and another reason why be those butterflies I want to set free. hold those thoughts; let my heart skip a sweeping dawn, a bargain to rescind to a melody I can't let persist. a hundred damned flowers thrown to the wind save myself from finding closure the brush of fingers, clench your dreams into my fists, a warm autumn night, keep your whispers by my chest, the meeting of eyes, as I find my way closer a smile of delight. this broken compass that points West. keep me close to your heart, & listen: none of those letters were ever a lie & I'll keep you, with all my might. I loved you first. but I'll be the first to say goodbye.
Some hearts understand each other even in silence.
