you told me that its not for me to worry about

so i wont worry about it...

aloud.

ill stop asking

and

ill stop bothering you

but if you look behind my eyes

youd see that

i wasnt true...

i was still worrying for you.

youll ask and ill deny

ill keep it all inside

wont let it out

wont ever cry about

how much pain im in

from holding all my worry in.

i ask about you and how youve been

not trying to pry

just trying to get in

to the beautiful place

you call your mind.

so that you can let your thoughts out

and i can let my worries out

and we can both walk away a little better than before

so we both don't have to hold

our worry inside

anymore.

•••

maybe i worry too much...

maybe i don't worry enough...

all i know is

you arent who i thought you were.

"alone or not you gotta walk forward."
