"Missing Pieces"

My heart has been under a shadow
locked away for years
In your grasp for so long
and buried by my fears

knowing I should tell you
the words I could not say
hiding from your eyes
feelings that never went away

My heart trembles at your voice
the tears begin to fall
the words finally come out
as I tear down the wall

but still I've kept this in
because I don't have a clue

just how you'll react
when I say I still loved you

despite the years
and all thats happened in the past
something between two kids
was strong enough to last

you had my heart
but he stole my soul
he took you away from me
so how could I be whole?

Yesterday I told you why
I could never let go
even after all those years
I thought that you should know

something I thought would be forever
was destroyed in just one night
took something away from me
that would've been so right

I never got to feel you
or be your very first
and to think I'll never get to
that hurts me even worse

I know I should have told you
and let you comfort me
but I was so ashamed
I couldn't let you see

what if you were to hold me
and I began to cry
the disappointment on your face
would make me want to die

to know I'd disappoint you
in any shape or way
was too much to handle
so I just stayed away

though I can't get back
all those times we never shared
as often as I thought about it
you have to know I cared

but I got back something from our talk
that no one understands
I got back my life
from his twisted hands

one thing I have learned
from all that I've been through
don't waste a minute of your life
and always stay true

so I want you to be happy no matter who its with
but I had to tell you how I feel
because if I never took that chance on you
my heart could never heal

I had to say how proud I am
and that I love you still
because there are just some things
that one night couldn't kill
