The feeling, all mine but all for you

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀There's things I wanna say to you

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But I'll just let you live

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But in my mind it's left unsaid that—

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I hold a longing for you.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Maybe it's just like one of those

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀emotions people speak of,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But how do I say

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You are the only one I wanna look at

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀until my eyes tire and close.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Until your image is imprinted in my mind,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀scent etched in my soul,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And your name engraved in my being.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You see it's not just the

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀fleeting butterflies that flatter,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It's the longing that lingers,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀eyes that thirst,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀hands that want to reach out.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It's not just my words to your devotion,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It's my verses wrapped in your presence,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Stanzas bleeding in your name,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀poems immortalising your soul.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But like every tragic story

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I'm going to remain here,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Watching you from a distance

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀that feels both too close

⠀⠀⠀⠀ and impossibly far

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Hoping that someday

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀somehow,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀or some way,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You'll notice the constant presence

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀of you I carry in my restless world,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀which is you,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀just you,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀always.

I speak for real experience that even you have mentioned, how the first two lines were from a song and wrote the piece later because we ultimately started thinking when the song hit us
