Never Knew
Should I tell you?
Or should I let you be?
Tell you what you are
And what you are not to me

Hidden but easily seen
Happy and giddy
Sad and mischievious
Like an adolescent teen

Always saw you
Never knew you

A subconscious entity of before
Until you walked through that door

Talk to you I did not dare
I never thought you'd care
But unkowingly you'd occasionally catch me in a stare
My silent affection cried out to you
But you were not aware

I stay
I stay silent as the air
It mattered yesterday
But not today

Maybe back then I should have said hello
Maybe then you'd know
But now you're a silent shadow
Catch up to me whereever I might go

The past is stalking me
A lost oppurtunity
But things are just as they should be

Funny
Now you've met me
But still don't know me
Things are just as they should be

Should I have told you?
Or should I have let you be?
Ask me now and I'll tell you
What you are and what you are not to me.
