What I Want

Does it matter what I want? 
 Would you listen if I tried to tell you?
  How my heartaches whenever I get close to you? 
  How it's killing me each day to pretend that i'm
  ok with us just being friends. 
  For me that's the case I don't how you feel
   your so good at concealing everything
   when all I want is for you to just reveal 
   the truth. Even if it's harsh... I think I need
   some a good reality check cause right now
   I feel lost. On rainy days when I can't sleep 
   I think about your lips. How I miss that kiss. 
   How I would pay a fortune just to be able 
   to kiss you passionately like before. 
   Your hands that's another story. 
    I miss them roaming down improper places
    on my body. I miss the way you'd make me feel 
    like at least one thing in this world was real. 
    A place where I could escape; I don't know
    about you but in your arms I always felt safe. 
    It was a freedom for me; a certain kind of high. 
    Now your making me experience withdrawl
     and honestly I don't want to fight it. 
     I don't want to have to ignore the urge that grows 
     stronger everyday. You and I in my mind paint so
     many vivid pictures that just won't go away. 
     I want to feel you. I want to reach out to you. 
       But does it matter what I want? Apparently not.
