Why am I silent,
why can't I speak.
Why is this shadow,
hanging over me.
Can't understand the blushes,
that come to my cheeks.
Whenever your around me,
my hearts in defeat.

The roses I'd give you,
the songs I would write.
The phone calls I'd make,
to make sure your alright.
Can't seem to remember,
my language when your around.
My actions grow weak,
and I can't make a sound.

You must think I'm a fool,
a silent one at that.
All the times I was quiet,
and just sat where I sat.
I've tried to forget you,
a many a time.
But each time I see your eyes,
I'm forced to change my mind.
